Today, we pause to remember the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the heroes who bravely faced danger to rescue and care for those in need. We place all these souls in Your loving arms and pray for peace in our world.

As Catholics, our parish is more than a building. It's our spiritual home. We cherish it, care for it, and help ensure it remains a welcoming place for generations to come. Just as a home provides the foundation for a lifetime of memories, a parish nurtures our faith and draws us closer to God through every stage of life.

For Monsignor Gentili, including the parish he faithfully shepherds in his estate plans was a natural decision. Monsignor reflects, "Yes, it can be scary to begin, but if one starts with reflecting on God’s many blessings to you in this life, then flowing from that is wanting to ‘pay it forward.’ In the end, I think of the Nike commercial, just do it!’ You really won’t regret it.”

This National Make-A-Will Month, consider remembering your parish or another Catholic ministry that has touched your life with a gift in your will. If you don't yet have a will, take advantage of our free, secure online estate planning tool and create one in about 20 minutes: Start your will today: https://partner.freewill.com/thecfgp

Why is making a will important? A will protects what you’ve worked so hard to build: your family, your assets, your legacy. That's why National Make-A-Will Month was created. It is a nationwide movement designed to help everyone, regardless of age or wealth, take control of their future.

Making a will helps you:
✔️ Care for your family: Name trusted guardians for your children and pets.
✔️ Specify your directives: Define exactly how you want your property and belongings to be handled.
✔️ Finalize your healthcare wishes: Establish clear directions for your medical care and power of attorney.
✔️ Manage beneficiaries: Coordinate beneficiary designations for accounts that a will does not cover, such as 401(k)s, IRAs, and life insurance policies.
✔️ Leave a charitable bequest: Unlock the potential to make a charitable gift to a Catholic cause(s) you love without impacting your current resources.

We believe that a will provides peace of mind, something everyone deserves. If you don't have a will, we're happy to share our secure online resource to make one for free in about 20 minutes: https://partner.freewill.com/thecfgp.

Let this National Make-A-Will Month serve as a reminder that stewardship extends beyond our lifetime. By having a will and including a Catholic cause, you can help ensure that the ministries and missions you love continue to bear fruit for generations to come.

As Tim and Diane Joganich shared, "Our legacy giving, no matter how much, is a way for us to express our thanks to God for our blessings. It is also a way for our works here in this world to continue to produce fruit after we pass from this life. To some extent, it is analogous to Christ’s continual presence in this world in his Church and the Eucharist."

A gift in your will is a lasting expression of faith, gratitude, and hope. Start your free will today and include a Catholic cause close to your heart: https://partner.freewill.com/thecfgp
