The Codicil Club

An investment in the future

In our continuing effort to publicly recognize and honor those who have remembered St. Patrick Parish and/or Archbishop Bergan Catholic School through estate related gifts, a special membership is provided for you.

THE CODICIL CLUB

The Codicil Club is composed of individuals who have provided for St. Patrick Parish or Archbishop Bergan Catholic School in their estate plan.  These are special people who are dedicated to a better future for their church and school for years to come.

In providing bequests or establishing trusts, you are always encouraged to use an attorney or other financial advisor. The Advancement Office of the Parish and School welcomes the opportunity to work with you and your advisor in planning your gift.
