Memorial Giving Program

You have certainly found yourself in the position of having to express your sympathy to the family of a deceased loved one. You may also have had some difficulty in knowing what to do, especially when words just aren't enough. The SJA Memorial Program gives you an alternative to this dilemma.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: fill out one of the coupons in the booklet (we've included a sample below which you may print out and use), complete the stub for your records, and mail the coupon and your check to Ste Jeanne d'Arc School. We have also included a list of the fund descriptions below for your information. The family of the deceased is immediately notified of your thoughtfulness by means of a distinctive card (we don't mention the amount of the gift). You will receive from us a receipt for your records. THERE IS NO MINIMUM DONATION REQUIRED. All gifts are tax deductible.

Donors and those being remembered are entered into our "Memory Book". These people will be especially remembered in the daily prayers of the students and teachers of SJA this year. All donors and families of the deceased are also invited to the special Memorial Mass celebrated each year in November.

REMEMBER: your donation gives you a prompt expression of sympathy, keeps alive the memory of a deceased person in the prayers of our students and helps support Ste Jeanne d'Arc School's educational program.

For your convenience, you can download a Memorial Donation Form to have on hand when needed.
