Remembering St. Thomas the Apostle Church in your will says something about what was meaningful in your life. To remember St. Thomas in your will, please ask your attorney to use the following terminology:
"I give, devise, and bequeath (dollar amount, stocks, etc.) to Gregory L. Parkes, as Bishop of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, and his Successors in Office, for the sole use of St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 7040 S. Suncoast Blvd, Homosassa, FL 34446."
Note that 100% of all monies contributed to St. Thomas the Apostle Church via bequests stay with the parish and are never assessed by the Diocese of St. Petersburg.
When planning your IRA withdrawal strategy, you may want to consider making charitable donations through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity. QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met. You can download our QCD form to assist you in making a Qualified Charitable Distribution to St. Thomas the Apostle Church.
