Consider Planned Giving

(Psalm 116:12)
How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good He has done me?

Please consider making a contribution to our St. Rita of Cascia Parish through different Planned Giving Options:


Life Insurance Policy – Life Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Please consider instructing your life insurance agent to include St. Rita of Cascia Parish as a primary or secondary beneficiary on your policy. It costs nothing to change the beneficiary on your policy and will mean everything to our future parish community.

Please consult your insurance agent to see if this is an option for you. For more information, please contact the Parish Office at 773-434-9600 or Krystina M. Campbell, Planned Giving Officer, Archdiocese of Chicago at 312-534-5404 or kcampbell@archchicago.org.

Please Consider a Gift to the Church that Pays you Back – Charitable Gift Annuity – A Charitable Gift Annuity is a great way to make a gift to the Church and receive fixed payments for life – benefitting you today and our parish in the future. You can schedule payments according to your financial needs, and enjoy immediate and future tax benefits, including a federal income tax deduction for a portion of your gift, if you itemize. Also, a portion of each annuity payment will be tax-free (through life expectancy). The funds remaining after your lifetime will support our parish or school – as designated by you.

For more information, please contactthe Parish Office at 773-434-9600 or contact Krystina M. Campbell, Planned Giving Officer, Archdiocese of Chicago at 312-534-5404 or kcampbell@archchicago.org – Visit giving.archchicago.org/cga for more information.


Please consider making a qualified charitable distribution (“QCD”) gift from your individual retirement account to St. Rita of Cascia Parish – A  QCD gift (a.k.a. IRA charitable rollover) allows individuals age 70½ or older to authorize their IRA administrator to make a direct transfer of funds from their IRA to qualified charities, tax-free. A QCD does not generate taxable income, which may lower your annual income level, and the amount you transfer may count towards your required minimum distribution.

If you would like more information on making a QCD gift, please contact the Parish Office at 773-434-9600 or contact Krystina M. Campbell, Planned Giving Officer, Archdiocese of Chicago at 312-534-5404 or kcampbell@archchicago.org.
