Create Your Catholic Legacy

Each May, we invite you to participate in Create Your Catholic Legacy (CYCL) Awareness Month. Consider how your legacy could help sustain Catholic causes close to your heart — and transform the lives of future generations. Throughout the month, you'll have many chances to learn about the impact of bequests and other estate gifts with our free gift-planning resources. Whether you're just beginning to explore the idea or have already taken steps to include a Catholic organization, program, or ministry in your plans, this is the perfect opportunity to make a difference.

Organization Resources

We offer graphics, materials, and links to help you leverage this month of awareness at your own parish, school, or organization.
