Giving

Mary Help of Christians Center was started in 1928 from a gift by a generous benefactor. Since its inception, Mary Help of Christians has become a religious community, a retreat center, a Parish community, and a school serving many.

With the support and generosity of all our donors, we can continue to serve the mission of Mary Help of Christians and preserve the Salesian legacy.

A Charitable Gift Annuity allows one to use an existing annuity or start with a lump-sum contribution. The deferred annuity or lump sum is used to fund an immediate annuity that funds you with a lifetime income while Mary Help of Christians receives the lump sum immediately. Please contact our finance office for more information.

Planned giving provides the opportunity for a donor to make a gift that will continue the Salesian legacy for the youth, but also achieves a variety of financial objectives. Deferred gifts include bequests, life insurance, and trusts.
