I Can... and I Will!
Priory traditions go back to 1956 when Father Egon envisioned their new home in America as he crossed the San Francisco Bay Bridge on his thirty-ninth birthday. The vision of Priory’s Hungarian and American Benedictine monks, the “American Miracle”, is their legacy. For those of you who have shared this experience, you can be a
part of that legacy while providing for Priory’s future through planned giving.
There are a variety of ways to make a planned gift. The easiest is to name the Priory through a bequest in your will or by making Priory a beneficiary or owner of a life insurance policy. Other options exist
through transferal of real estate or by creating a charitable trust.
All that is needed is to inform the Priory that you have included the school in your estate plans or your intent to do so. You will join others who have taken this step. These friends of the Priory are members of the Saint Benedict Society and come from many parts of the Priory community: current and former parents;
alumni and faculty; as well as, Friends of the Chapel.
Planned gifts are creative ways to make a lasting impact to the Priory without a major impact on current cash flow, lifestyle or family security.
