Giving
Support SJC
Supporting St. John of the Cross Parish is an act of stewardship that extends far beyond our campus. Your generous contributions fuel our Catholic mission to proclaim the Gospel, serve those in need, form disciples in faith, and build a vibrant community where all can encounter Christ.
Giving Opportunities
Planned Giving
Bequests
Leave a gift to St. John of the Cross Parish in your will. Charitable bequests can be structured in many ways and are deductible for estate tax purposes.
Gifts of Stock
Giving long-term appreciated stock offers a two-fold tax savings. First, no capital gains tax is paid on the increase in value of your stock. Second, you will receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the transfer (the date the stocks are received in the parish account).

Gifts of Real Estate
Before selling real estate that would result in a large capital gains tax, consider donating it to the parish to avoid the tax and realize a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property.
Charitable Remainder Trust
Place property or cash into a charitable remainder trust, a gift arrangement that provides income for you and perhaps a specified beneficiary as well. Tax benefits include an initial income tax deduction and avoidance of capital gains tax for securities. At the end of the agreed period, usually the donor and/or beneficiary’s lifetime, the remainder of the trust’s assets would be given to St. John of the Cross Parish.
