Legacy League

Sacred Heart Parish is proud to report the formation of the Sacred Heart Parish Legacy League.  Planned gifts help to perpetuate the ministry of Sacred Heart.  The Legacy League was created to recognize those parishioners, parents, friends and alumni who included Sacred Heart in their financial and estate plans.  Sacred Heart Parish has a long and rich tradition of evangelization and formation in our Catholic faith.  One way to preserve this is through support of the Legacy League.  Gifts to the Legacy League help strengthen Sacred Heart’s mission for future generations of Catholics.  Your gift in perpetuity is a final gesture of support.

How to become a Legacy League Member

Bequests:  Including Sacred Heart Parish in your Will lowers the taxable amount of your estate, and at the same time provides support to Sacred Heart. 

What is the simplest way to write a bequest?

Should you decided to include Sacred Heart Parish in your Will, please use the following codicil and forward to your attorney:

“I bequeath the sum of $ ______ or ____ percentage of the residual of my estate to Sacred Heart, Glyndon, Roman Catholic Congregation, Inc., located at 65 Sacred Heart Lane, Glyndon, MD 21071 for the benefit of (Sacred Heart Church or Sacred Heart School)."

Charitable Gift Annuities:  Charitable Gift Annuities offer the donor the opportunity to simultaneously increase their income, receive a charitable deduction, and make a gift to the parish.  The income to the donor is guaranteed for one or two lifetimes (if there is a spouse).  This income may be deferred should the donor wish, or reversed immediately. 

Real Estate: You may make a gift of property that will sell easily.  You can avoid capital gains taxes on property you have owned for more than one year and receive a considerable reduction in estate taxes. 

Life Insurance:  There are many possibilities of how to donate a life insurance policy.  You may donate an up-to-date policy, purchase a new policy in the Parish’s name and make the premium payments, or name Sacred Heart as a beneficiary of a current policy.
