Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of the Sisters of St. Joseph. They believe it is important to support the mission and ministries of the Sisters of St. Joseph.
Joe: Several years ago, Anna and I decided to share in the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph. We believe the Sisters are truly serving others, especially the poor and the vulnerable. We think it's important to be a ?partner in service' with the Sisters of St. Joseph who, for more than 130 years, have served the ?dear neighbors' through their ministries in education, health care, social services and spiritual development.
Anna: We wanted to do more than to just make gifts. Joe and I have been careful over the years and have accumulated some resources. We plan to be generous with family, but we also have the ability to be generous with charity.
After talking it over, we decided to leave a bequest in our will. Our attorney took the simple language available from the Sisters of St. Joseph and included a nice bequest. We are delighted that we will be helping others through the Sisters of St. Joseph.
