YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE!

During this time of public concern regarding the H1N1 Swine Flu Virus, our Bishop McGrath has asked the faithful: to refrain from holding hands during the Lord’s Prayer; to share the Sign of the Peace in ways other than shaking hands, and to receive Holy Communion into the hands only until further notice.  Thank you for your cooperation!

PLANNED GIVING NOTES

Life Insurance Gifts

It is easy to turn an old life insurance policy into a nice gift to St. Victor’s Parish, and a possible tax deduction.  Simply transfer it to, “The Roman Catholic Bishop, a California Corporate Sole, for the benefit of St. Victor’s Parish.”  It is even easier to add the parish as a beneficiary to a policy.  Because you can always change this, there is no tax deduction for including the Church as a beneficiary.

If you want to know more about this, the Diocese can provide free assistance.  Call Robert Serventi @ 983-0168, or write to him at: Diocese of San Jose, The Chancery, 1150 N. First St., Suite 100, San Jose, CA 95112-4966.
