If the Friars or their ministries, or perhaps the intercessory power of a Franciscan saint, have had a significant impact in your life, a legacy gift would be a wonderful expression of gratitude and a way to ensure that the work of the Friars continues well into the future. One of the most common and convenient ways to gift the Franciscans is through your will.

Making a will enables you to take care of your children, grandchildren, property – and, yes, even the Friars. Remember, your legacy gift isn’t for us, but rather for our critical outreach services to the poor.

If you have already included the Franciscans in your will, trust, IRA, or estate plan, please let us know so that we can thank you for your generous legacy gift – and so that your gift will be used exactly as you intend.

To learn more about ways you can support the Franciscans with a legacy gift, contact Fr. Brian Smail, OFM, at 1-646-473-0265 x303 or bsmail@friars.us
