"Love the poor and your life will be filled with sunlight, and you will not be frightened at the hour of your death."
- St. Vincent de Paul
Leave a Legacy of Hope Your Faith. Your Legacy. Your Gift.
At Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Palm Beach, we believe that every act of generosity has the power to create hope and transform lives.
Through planned giving, you can extend your commitment to serving people in need well into the future. A planned gift allows you to thoughtfully provide for your loved ones while also leaving a lasting legacy of compassion, faith, and service in our community.
Your generosity can help ensure that Catholic Charities will continue serving people in need and creating hope in all stages of life for generations to come.
Make a Difference Beyond Your Lifetime
A planned gift can support the programs and ministries that are closest to your heart—from helping families overcome homelessness and supporting vulnerable children and seniors to providing assistance to women and families, immigrants, survivors of human trafficking, and individuals facing times of crisis.
Whether your gift is large or small, your decision to include Catholic Charities in your estate plans can make a lasting difference.
Your legacy can become someone else's hope.
