return to the right path, give all who for the
faith they profess are accounted Chris&ans
the grace to reject whatever is contrary to
the name of Christ and to strive a(er all that
does it honor. Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever. Amen.�

your family and your estate. The Catholic Community Foundation’s invites you to learn about the advantages of making a planned gift part of your estate planning. Please contact Joanna S. Feltz, J.D., Director of Planned Giving at [email protected] or call 1-800-382-9836 ext. 1482.
