The Magi Bring Their Treasures to the Lord Jesus: Click to Enlarge (Photo: Laurita Liles)For generations, Saint Paul’s Parish has benefited from the generosity of many benefactors. Very significant bequests from the estates of Bill Carwithen and Velma Gray underwrote major parts of our 2007-2008 building project. Recent additions to the church are being funded in part by J. Reilly Lewis’ generous gift in memory of his mother, Dora Lewis, plus special gifts by a number of parishioners and a bequest by Mary Wolfskill.  Pillsbury Hall is an older example of a major project made possible by a large gift or bequest. Planned gifts – also known as legacy gifts - are given in response to a deep love of God, an affection and concern for his Church, and a desire to support its continuing work.

 

Formed in 2006, the Legacy Society provides an opportunity for donors to give witness to their good stewardship in making provision for the church’s future life and ministry, thus encouraging others in the parish to make similar provisions in their wills and estate plans. Membership in the Legacy Society is open to any person associated with Saint Paul’s Parish (including anyone who desires to remain anonymous) who has made a provision for the church in his or her estate plan, regardless of the size of the gift. For information on the Legacy Society, please contact the parish office at 202-337-2020 or by e-mail at adminasst@StPauls-KSt.com.
