For many people thinking about their Will can make them feel uncomfortable, but a Will is an opportunity to leave a legacy and make a difference.
Your Will enables you to provide for your family, friends, loved ones and any cause you support. Your Will can ensure the future financial well being of your family and other people you wish to benefit.
Our Parish has many different missions within the community which include assisting the frail, elderly, sick or those of us who are just in need of help. Our Parish supports schools, our seniors, our families, the marginalised and the poor. There are many people who are assisted by our Parish who would not otherwise receive any help.
You can help the Parish with a donation in your Will. Alternatively a bequest to your Parish means that you can see how the money will be used.
Create lasting change in people’s lives. Remembering our Parish in your Will assists the Church to continue to make positive changes to people’s lives every day. You can help make a difference.
