Legacy of Hope

When you remember Franciscan Missions in your estate plan, you become a perpetual member of the Legacy of Hope. Through your partnership with us as a member of our Legacy of Hope, you touch the lives of countless people. Your dedication to delivering hope will glorify God’s love for the poor and build the religious life of future friars for the betterment of all people.

Through the Legacy of Hope, we recognize, honor, and pray for our faithful friends and mission partners. They make a special gift through their will or estate plan to help Franciscan missionaries deliver hope and compassionate, life-giving care to people in need for years to come.

Your gift is a symbol of your helping hands.

We will inscribe your name in our Legacy Book as a member of the Legacy of Hope. You will receive these spiritual benefits:

• Remembrance in the daily prayers and Masses of Franciscan missionaries around the world
• Perpetual remembrance in a daily Mass at the Franciscan sanctuary of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska in Poland
• Remembrance in the Mass at Franciscan Missions Chapel, Waterford, Wisconsin, on June 13, the feast of St. Anthony of Padua
• Semiannual newsletter with helpful information and news and photos from Franciscan missions overseas
• Peace of mind that you have made your wishes known and have made all the necessary arrangements for your wishes to be carried out
• A lasting memorial to your love for the Church and to your understanding of the urgent needs Franciscan missionaries face each day

You can be sure that wherever Franciscan missionaries are in the world, they think of you and pray for you and your loved ones each day.
