Church Code:  TX956

We have resumed all of our in-person Mass times, so if you are attending Mass, you are welcome to bring your donations in person to Mass and leave them in the collection baskets just inside the glass doors to the main church.

- Envelopes: If you are member of St. Ann, please call the office to request your set. If you intend to be a sponsor, use the envelope system to let us know that you are attending Mass regularly.

- Loose checks: Write your ID member on your check. If you don’t have it, please call the office. If you are not member of St. Ann and you would need a donation statement at the end of the year, please call the office and let us know as soon as you start donating.

If you are not attending Mass and would like to bring your donations in person, you can bring them by the office during our regular business hours, or you can drop them in the black lock box in front of our office door (please raise the flag to let us know to check it). If you choose to leave your donations there, we would prefer you to leave a check rather than cash.

A Gift in Your Will or Living Trust

How the New SECURE Act Affects Qualified Charitable Distributions

The SECURE Act that went into effect on January 1, 2020 raised the age to 72 at which you must take mandatory distributions from your IRA, but continues to allow you to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) beginning at age 70-1/2 for up to $100,000 each year without any tax penalty. To make a QCD contribution to your parish, school, the Annual Diocesan Appeal or another ministry, please contact Dianna Rhoads, 817-533-3174. drhoads@advancementfoundation.org. More information, including a writeable PDF form, is available at: https://advancementfoundation.planmygift.org/ira-charitable-rollover

Have You Made Provisions for Our Parish (School) In Your Estate?

If you have included our parish (school) in your estate plans, will you please do us the favor of letting us know? We want to include you in the Legacy Society. Established in 2005, the purpose of the Legacy Society is to acknowledge and honor those individuals who make a permanent gift to benefit the Diocese of Fort Worth through a planned gift or who create an endowment fund. Specific parishes, schools, agencies or ministries may be designated beneficiaries. To let us know of your intent, please visit https://bit.ly/LegacyIntent or contact Renée Underwood, CFRE at the Advancement Foundation, 817-533-7242, runderwood@adv-fdn.org.

Year-End Giving
As this year draws to a close, you are likely to be reviewing your important financial matters, including your charitable giving for 2021. Now is certainly a good time to think carefully about what to give and when to give it. It is also an important time to reflect on the call to Stewardship – to give back to God in gratitude. Please remember the parishes, schools and many ministries of the Diocese of Fort Worth now and in the future. Gifts of cash, IRA distributions, securities, insurance policies, bequests, annuities and trusts can make a lasting difference.
