Have You “insured” Our Parish?

“Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.” (Matthew 20:16)

Have You “insured” Our Parish?

Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Please consider instructing your life insurance agent to include Holy Child Jesus Parish as a primary or secondary beneficiary on your policy.

It costs nothing to change the beneficiary on your policy and will mean everything to our future parish community.

1. Name our parish as a beneficiary of the policy. Simply update your beneficiary designation form with your policy holder and list the primary or contingent beneficiary as: “Holy Child Jesus Parish, The Catholic Bishop of Chicago, a Corporation Sole”

2. Make an outright gift of an existing policy. You can irrevocably name our parish as owner and beneficiary of a policy with accumulated cash value that you and your family no longer need. You qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction when you itemize on your taxes. Also, if you continue to pay premiums on the policy, each payment is tax deductible as a charitable gift, if you itemize.

For more information on making a gift of life insurance to our parish, we recommend you consult with your financial planner, attorney or insurance representative. Please contact our parish Rectory Office at (773) 764-0615 with any additional questions. [or contact Marguerite Q. Zappa, Parish Support Manager, Archdiocese of Chicago at 312.848.3068 or mzappa@archchicago.org].
