Dear Parish Family,

​

I am excited to announce the launch of a new parish website designed to provide educational resources to help you create and update your personal estate plan.

​

In their pastoral letter, Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops reminds us that a good disciple “receives God’s gifts gratefully, cultivates them responsibly, shares them in justice and love with all, and returns them with increase to the Lord.” As a parish, we are asked to provide information to families and individuals to help you practice responsible stewardship.

​

Our new parish webpage www.myplanwithcatholiccommunity.org/stmartinoftours gives you a starting point to help you in the estate planning process. You have the ability to view and request educational materials and practical information to get you started.

​

Thoughtful planning on your part can be one of the best gifts you can give to your family, reducing administrative time, expense and inconvenience that your loved ones will have to bear later. Once you have taken care of your family, you can learn about ways to express your gratitude and love for God with a gift that will strengthen the future ministry of our Church.

​

I hope you will spend some time using this resource to aid you in the planning process. If you wish to speak with someone personally, please contact me at the parish office at 216-475-4300 or via email at legacygiving-smt@sbcglobal.net.

​

May God bless you for your faithful discipleship, charity and all you do to build His kingdom here on earth.

​

Sincerely yours in Christ,

​

Rev. Luigi Miola

Pastor
