The Legacy Society

An Invitation to Community and Enduring Charity

​CCF’s Legacy Society is a community of Catholics who share a love for their faith and a desire to ensure its mission and ministries endure. Inspired by gospel teachings and called to pass on the blessings they’ve received, Legacy Society members have formally entrusted their charitable legacy to CCF’s perpetual stewardship. They recognize the impact of providing consistent, stable financial support to parishes, Catholic schools, and other charities — not just today, but into the future.
