Legacy Events
Create Peace of Mind for Yourself and Your Family
End-of-life planning isn’t always easy to think about, but preparing now is one of the most meaningful ways to care for your loved ones. By making your intentions known through a will or estate plan, you ease their burden and ensure your wishes reflect the faith and legacy you’ve built.
The Catholic Foundation of West Michigan offers free events and resources to help you navigate these important decisions with expert-led guidance in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Gain the tools, insights, and knowledge you need to make informed choices for your future.
Whether you’re just beginning to think about these decisions or refining your plans, the Catholic Foundation is committed to being a resource to help you move forward with confidence and purpose.
