OUR LEGACY
As Catholics, we are called to care for one another and to use our unique gifts and talents for the good of our community and the world.  We are called to share Jesus’s vision, and model our lives after His example of love.

We accomplish this in our daily lives through prayer, worship and charitable works.  After our work on earth is complete, we can continue to share Jesus’s gospel message and help to build God’s kingdom here on earth through a legacy gift to the Catholic Foundation of Southwestern Michigan.  Our legacy gift to the Church through the Foundation helps to ensure that our local church and its many ministries will continue to flourish and serve generations to come.
As good and faithful stewards, we play a critical role in perpetuating Christ’s work on earth.
