Faith Formation Commission

Endowment Fund

We are reminded of what Jesus taught us, "When we give, we receive some blessing from God in return." The Catholic Community of Jeffersonville faith formation office would like to take this opportunity to ask for your consideration of the Educational Endowment fund when looking for ways to assist others in need.

This fund allows for many children in our Parish to receive a Catholic education that might otherwise not be available to them. Your help provides financial stability and support to ensure that a Catholic education remains a reality for the future. To date, the endowment has made it possible for two high school seniors and one elementary student to receive a Catholic education. These funds are also used to purchase computer software for our religious education classrooms.

The Endowment fund enables our vision to become a reality. It provides for an endowment for the purpose of:

1. Funding Catholic education at New Albany Deanery Parochial Schools with emphasis on assisting needy families 
2. Strengthening parish educational resources.

Your gift can be given in many ways, such as:

Bequests - A donor may leave cash, securities, real estate, or other assets by will. The gift may be designated as a specific amount or as a percentage of the estate. Through the years, gifts of this type have played a major role for the Church.

Memorials - One may request in the event of a death that donations to the fund be made in lieu of flowers.

Life Insurance - Life insurance policies originally designated for protection may be unnecessary for a currently independent family. These can become a large gift at little or no new cost. Or , you may desire to participate in a new policy which requires no physical examination or insurance forms.

Life Estate - The legal title of personal residence can be passed to the Church while the donor retains the right to live in the residence until death. This also provides an initial tax deduction.

We thank you in advance for your generosity. If you have any questions, please contact the faith formation Office at (812) 282-1231. Donations or gifts may be sent to:
