Carpenter Society
Home

The Carpenter Society honors the past with gifts to assure the future of our parish and its facilities. A hardworking craftsman, St.  Joseph devoted his life to caring for the Blessed Mother and our Lord Jesus Christ. He allowed God to serve as his guide and never fled from his duty. From St. Joseph’s example, the Carpenter Society invites others to follow by providing assurance of care for St. Joseph parish.

 

 

 

Have you ever wished to make a charitable gift to your parish, Catholic school or other Catholic organization but still wished to retain an income while you are living?  Would you like to guarantee a fixed rate of return from an investment instrument yet wish to be charitable?  Perhaps a Charitable Gift Annuity is best suited for you.
