HOW OLD IS YOUR WILL?
Did you write your will when your children were born and now you’re empty nesters with the same will in place? If so, you are among countless others who need to update it. Our lives change, our financial circumstances change, our families grow, and we say goodbye to others in our family. You don’t have to rewrite your will, often times you just have to add an inexpensive addition or supplement to it. If you would like more information about leaving a legacy gift, contact Michele Brock at The Catholic Foundation in the Archdiocese of Dubuque at 563-552-0176 or [email protected].

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
We see perfect obedience shown by Christ amidst his agony in the garden. His human will dreads what will come, but his divine will, which is never at odds with his human will, submits to the Truth: “Yet, not as I will, but as you will.” (Matthew 26:39)
