The St. Regis Endowment fund offers a unique opportunity to share our blessings with future generations of parishioners. It’s similar to the toy figure in the TV commercial that keeps going. But, unlike the battery that eventually runs down, an endowment fund lasts in perpetuity.
What can our endowment do?
Our endowment will last.
An endowment to St. Regis is like a well; it never runs dry. The cash value of gifts are placed into a regulated investment account, and only the interest derived from the account becomes available to the parish each year. The principal cannot ever be spent, and so provides a source of ongoing income to the parish. The enduring quality makes an endowment the perfect tool to create a lasting legacy. Programs and ministries may change at St. Regis, but your gift will always endure.
Our endowment will enable.
Your gift will enable our parish community to be a stronger and more viable parish. Because of the enduring quality of the gift, the endowment enables us to plan ahead with confidence, knowing there will be vital help in meeting the ever-increasing needs of our church. We can project endowment income and develop our ministries accordingly. It puts us on more solid ground in the future.
Our endowment will inspire.
Your gift shows that you support our mission and expect our parish to be here into the future. Your commitment will also encourage others to give. The leadership of our parish will be inspired to honor your investment by living out our vital mission in Trafford. Your children and grandchildren will benefit from your legacy.
No gift is too small to make a difference. Imagine the impact of having even half the people in our community leave a portion of their assets in their will to the parish.
Prayerfully reflect on your many blessings, recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God. Can the St. Regis Endowment be one way to give back to God what is his and to fulfill our mission of spreading the Gospel?
