Leave a Legacy of Transforming Lives With The Love and Joy of Jesus Through Mary
Your love for Our Lady of Sorrows carries on the tradition of bringing others to the Catholic faith in Santa Barbara that began over 230 years ago.
Your legacy gift ensures the maintenance of our beautiful parish grounds and buildings, as well as important ministries, when you leave a bequest through your will, stocks and other finanical options.
Planned Giving is an ideal way to continue supporting the parish for decades to come, leaving your legacy with others to carry forward as we continue to lead people of all ages to their Sacraments, liturgically celebrate a variety of cultural experiences and maintain the historical integrity of our church buildings and grounds.
Your financial gift is a blessing to the parish as larger gifts enable maintenance, restoration and large-scale projects (such as new ministries and programs) to come to fruition more readily and completely. We encourage you to designate your gift for a specific use or project that is near and dear to you heart.
Whether you choose to leave your legacy through your estate, retirement/IRA account, stocks, real estate or other financial vehicle, designating your donation for "Our Lady of Sorrows" will ensure it remains at the parish. Specifying your gift for a restricted use or project is easily done through a letter or statement of intent written into your will. Your gift can also be given for unrestricted use for monthly operating expenses.
For more information on how to include Our Lady of Sorrows in your estate planning, please contact our pastor, Fr Cesar Magallon, at 805-963-1734.
God bless you for your consideration and care for the future of our parish. And we thank those who have generously provided for the future of the parish through past gifts that live on in their name.
