As a Franciscan Catholic community, we are called to a life of generosity and service, following in the footsteps of our Lord, Jesus Christ. In honor of this calling, we should be good stewards of the time, talents, and resources He entrusts to our care.
August is National Make-A-Will Month, and it’s an opportunity for our parish family to create a will and protect our blessings.
As it’s said in 1 Peter 4:10, “Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.”
Creating a will is a simple way to:
- Steward your blessings: Protect the family and finances you are graced with.
- Get peace of mind: Create a plan reflecting our Franciscan values.
- Care for your loved ones: Name guardians for your children or pets so they are always cared for.
This online resource makes creating your will in the Franciscan spirit of providing for our community’s spiritual and temporal needs simple and cost-free. Best of all, it takes just 20 minutes.
Act as a good steward this Make-A-Will Month, and please feel free to share this resource with any loved ones who may benefit from it.
Blessings, Fr. Lalo Jara, OFM & Gwyn Grimes
P.S. Many people of faith include a gift in their will to support the future of the Church. Please let us know here if you’ve made a will and included Mission San Luis Rey Parish.
