What is the St. Paul Legacy Society?
The St. Paul Legacy Society recognizes individuals and families who have included St. Paul Catholic Student Center in their estate plans.
These gifts are often made through a simple bequest in a will or trust and strengthen the long-term sustainability of our ministry, allowing us to plan confidently for the future.
Legacy gifts may support:
- Catholic mental health counseling for students
- Retreats and discipleship programs
- Liturgical formation and vibrant campus worship
- Leadership development for student missionaries and peer leaders
- Facilities and capital improvements
- Endowment support
Donors may choose to designate their gift to a particular area of passion or allow it to support the ministry's greatest needs at the time it is received. We welcome conversations with anyone who wishes to reflect on how their legacy might best serve future generations of students at St. Paul.
