Introducing the Legacy Society of the Idaho Catholic Foundation

The Legacy Society has been created to thank our parishioners who have remembered the Roman Catholic Diocese and/or their parish, school or other Catholic entity in Idaho through their estate plan. These parishioners have agreed to be the “Legacy” angels of our parish family both on earth and in Heaven. A gift through their estate plan entitles the donor to membership in this very special group of caring people who provide for the future of the Catholic Church in Idaho and serve as our advocates of parish and diocesan ministries in the everlasting life.

The Legacy Society offers a number of benefits to its members, including: special remembrance of all members at the Bishop’s annual mass for Legacy Society members as well as your name remembered in our prayers and memoralized in a special way.

After naming your parish, school and/or the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise in your estate plan, all that needs to be done to accept this membership is to complete a confirmation form and deliver, mail or email it to the address listed on the form. You may choose to remain anonymous, and you can modify or revoke your gift at any time.
