Case Statement for John Paul IIFamily Life Center
"...A community needs a soul if it is to become a true home for human beings. You, the peolpe, must gift it this soul."
Pope John Paul II
CASH GIFT
This is the most common gift. Your cash gift to St. Bernadette’s is tax deductible and may be paid over a three-year pledge period. It may be to your tax advantage to make your gift over a shorter or longer period of time. We suggest that you consult your tax advisor. You may make your check payable to St. Bernadette’s.
GIFT OF SECURITIES
A gift of appreciated securities is one way to make a significant contribution at a reduced cost to you. Federal tax laws allow a charitable deduction of the full market value of the securities on the date of the gift, with no capital gains tax on the appreciation. In addition, it may be possible for you to use 401K or retirement funds as a gift. Please consult with your tax advisor or accountant on the tax treatment as it may vary from individual to individual.
PLEDGES
One-time gifts are certainly welcome and may offer tax advantages to the donor. However, many people are able make a larger gift when it is made on a regular basis over a period of time. Pledges are not legally binding. While the regular pledge period is three years, we can structure a pledge period to meet the fiscal and tax needs of the donor. Payments can be made on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis. An electronic church-giving program will also be available for scheduled automatic bank transfers, in addition to the ability to pay via a credit card.
NAMING AND COMMEMORATIVE OPPORTUNITIES
There are various opportunities available for commemorative or naming opportunities at different gift levels.

Prayer for the Intercession
Of Pope John Paul II
O Blessed Trinity we thank Thee for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your fatherly care, the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Holy Spirit to shine through him.
Trusting fully in your Infinite mercy and in the maternal intercession of Mary, he has given us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd, and has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with You.
Grant us by his intercession and according to Your will, the graces we implore, hoping that he will be soon numbered among your saints. Amen
