Giving Opportunities at Saint Bede
From one-time donations and regularly scheduled gifts, to planned and legacy gifts, you have the ability to make a difference in your parish community. You can provide for yourself, your family and still leave a permanent legacy for the future of Saint Bede Catholic Church. You can follow in the footsteps of Christ who educated the children by supporting faith formation. Your gift can sustain the presence of the Williamsburg House of Mercy that helps to shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and give drink to the thirsty. You can be the hands and feet of Christ!
Types of gifts:
Planned gifts are donations that are paid at a future date. You may be able to increase your cash flow, diversify your investment portfolio without incurring capital gains, and reduce your income and estate taxes. Documented planned gifts qualify you for membership in the Lumen Christi Society.
We also have several Endowment Funds that ensure the continuation of our mission of growing disciples. Here are some other great resources for you:
