Estate and Trusts/Planned Giving -  St. Gregory Legacy Society  

By including a charitable gift in your estate plan, will, or living trust, you will make a lasting difference. Your gift will continue to have a positive effect on our future Church into perpetuity. Even a small sum will have a big impact over time.

When Bishop Edward D. Fenwick founded The Athenaeum of Ohio in 1829 to form local priests to serve the local Church, he could not have envisioned the legacy he would leave – an institution destined to train thousands of priests, deacons, high school and college students, teachers and lay ministers.

The St. Gregory Legacy Society was established to honor those who have made The Athenaeum of Ohio/Mount St. Mary’s Seminary part of their legacy through a planned gift. Membership is granted to individuals who confirm they have made The Athenaeum of Ohio/Mount St. Mary’s Seminary a beneficiary of their estate plans through a bequest, life insurance policy, charitable annuity or trust, or a gift of real estate or other property. There is no minimum gift amount required from your estate, only a firm belief in the mission of The Athenaeum.

Your gift to the Athenaeum’s endowment will benefit the Catholic faith forever.

Your charitable gift also will benefit you and your family by providing an income tax deduction, helping you to avoid capital gains, reducing your estate taxes or providing a steady stream of annual income.

Contact your financial advisor or Kathy Kaelin Symons, director of estate and trust services, at 513-233-6153 or at leavealegacy@athenaeum.edu to further explore charitable gift options.

As a member of the St. Gregory Legacy Society, you will receive:

     * Invitations to St. Gregory Legacy Society and other Athenaeum events.

     * Remembrances in the intercessions during Masses in the Athenaeum’s Chapel of St. Gregory the Great.

Do you want to help educate people to serve our Church and to spread our Catholic faith?

 We invite you to prayerfully consider establishing a bequest or planned gift. Your gift allows you to make a statement of support during your lifetime and create a legacy benefitting countless generations to come
