Many of our parish members are taking advantage of the opportunity to support the good works of St. Therese of Lisieux through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
If you are age 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution, sometimes called a Qualified Minimum Distribution, may be one of the most beneficial ways to support the mission of St. Therese of Lisieux Parish.
A QCD allows you to make a gift directly from your IRA to St. Therese of Lisieux without having to recognize the distribution as taxable income. For those age 73 and older who are required to take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), a QCD can satisfy all or part of that requirement while supporting the ministries and mission of our parish.
By making a gift through a QCD, you may be able to reduce your taxable income while helping St. Therese of Lisieux continue to proclaim the Gospel, serve those in need, form disciples, and provide a vibrant Catholic community for generations to come.
If you are considering a Qualified Charitable Distribution, please consult your financial advisor or tax professional to determine how this giving option may benefit your individual situation. Additionally, if you have any parish-related questions, reach out to our Mission Support Director, Chris Kozlowski, at chrisk@stol.church or by calling the parish office.
Thank you for your faithful stewardship and for investing in the mission of St. Therese of Lisieux Parish.
