Other Ways to Give

Thanks to your generosity, the Salesian Sisters continue to positively impact society, especially for young people. Planned gifts offer you exceptional financial benefits while sustaining and growing their mission. You can consider gifts of property, stocks, life insurance policies, or retirement plans. Notifying us of your planned gift allows us to recognize your generosity and maximize the impact of your intentions.

Having a Will is essential for everyone, whether you're 18 or 108. By specifying who receives your property, and requesting a Catholic burial, you can rest assured that your legacy reflects your values. Consider leaving a portion of your estate to the Salesian Sisters, your spiritual daughters, to make a lasting impact and support the causes that matter most to you.

Here is the general information you will need to include:

Organization name: Salesian Sisters / Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians

Federal Tax ID #: 74-2476099 

Address: 6019 Buena Vista St, San Antonio, TX 78237 

The Salesian Sisters have partnered with My Catholic Will to allow you to easily pass on your Catholic faith through writing your Will. You can create your legal Will in as little as 15 minutes for FREE and have the opportunity to provide a Legacy Gift to the Salesian Sisters.
