Dear Friends in Christ,
Most of us don’t really like to think about death and dying, but as Catholics, we know that our lives are a gift from God, and even in death we can give witness to Him.
Your will isn’t just a legal document. It’s a chance to give your family peace, to make sure your wishes are clear, and to leave behind a final testimony of what — and Who — you believed in.
If your will isn’t up to date, your intentions might not be followed, and it could cause stress for your loved ones. A good rule is to look at it every five years or whenever there’s a big change in your life — new children or grandchildren, new assets, or even a deeper involvement in your parish family.
When you update your will, you:
We are a parish partner with the Catholic Community Foundation through the Archdiocese of Indianapolis to ensure gifts are properly transferred. Please see the side task bar for more information.
Please also contact Emily Alig at the parish office to discuss any planned giving so we can be made aware at the parish level.

When you update your will, you:
- Give your family clarity and peace
- Lower the chance of disputes and stress
- Make sure your will reflects your Catholic faith and values
- Have the chance to bless your parish and other ministries close to your heart
- Gain peace of mind, knowing your last testimony points to Christ
- Care for our cemetery, a place of Christian hope in the Resurrection
- Provide for our facilities, where future generations will encounter Christ
- Leave 10% of their estate to the parish, a final act of tithing
- Or, treat the parish like one of their children — setting aside a percentage to keep the mission of Jesus alive here at All Saints
