Videos on Estate Planning and Planned Giving

A great way to donate to Holy Cross Parish’s Kitchen Renovation Project is through estate planning and planned giving.

In 2018, the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface formed a committee of experts in estate planning, accounting, and financial planning to discuss questions of estate planning and planned giving, with the intention of preparing useful resources for the Archdiocese, its parishes, its schools, and Catholics in general. Presentations in parishes on estate planning were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so a five-part video series was created. To view the videos, please click here.

In this video, Archbishop LeGatt speaks to us about the stewardship of the resources available to us, of his decision to make a planned gift to the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface and invites us to consider a similar gift.  Mr. Fradette, past Director of Pastoral Services for the Archdiocese, explains that his bequest is in support of formation.

Taylor McCaffrey lawyer Solange Buissé specializes in estate planning and estate administration.  She is featured in videos pertaining to three important legal documents when it comes to succession planning: powers of attorney, health care directives, and wills.

Christine Beaumont, Certified Financial Advisor with the designation of Master Financial Advisor in Philanthropy (Paul Craft Financial Inc.), speaks to us about integrating our philanthropic goals into our financial and estate planning, as well as maximizing our impact on charities that are important to us while minimizing the taxes we pay.

We extend a sincere thanks to Ms. Buissé and Ms. Beaumont who have generously given of their time to produce these videos!
