THE VERITAS SOCIETY<br />
for Planned Giving<br />
The Dominican Sisters of Springfield have touched the lives of thousands<br />
of students at <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Their work has created a lasting<br />
partnership with faculty, parents, alumni, and benefactors to provide a <strong>Catholic</strong><br />
education benefitting generations past and those to come. We invite faculty,<br />
parents, and benefactors to consider planned gifts to support the Dominican<br />
teaching mission at <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Planned Giving creates a legacy that will extend your generosity into the future.<br />
This caring act may result in the most lasting gift you ever make. The lives that are<br />
touched at <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong>, and the potential they hold, can be your legacy.<br />
“We, as <strong>Catholic</strong>s, share this<br />
responsibility to promote our faith<br />
for the betterment of all people in<br />
this secular world. I pray that many<br />
fellow alumni will hear the call of<br />
the Holy Spirit to support <strong>Catholic</strong><br />
Education in any way they are able."<br />

"My education at <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> in the ’80s was excellent, but I was an average<br />
teenager and found myself my senior year in a few detentions and even lost all of<br />
my senior privileges,” recalls Anne Marie Korzenko McNew ’83, owner of AMK<br />
Design in Virginia. Reflecting upon her young adult experience at <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong><br />
prompted Anne Marie to commit an estate gift to the school. “In retrospect, my<br />
education and culture of [<strong>Catholic</strong>] faith at <strong>Marian</strong> was a great foundation for all<br />
I've accomplished in my adult life. Although I have no children of my own, in this<br />
Year of Faith in the <strong>Catholic</strong> Church, I realize how important <strong>Catholic</strong> education<br />
is for our faith and our young people. We, as <strong>Catholic</strong>s, share this responsibility<br />
to promote our faith for the betterment of all people in this secular world. I pray<br />
that many fellow alumni will hear the call of the Holy Spirit to support <strong>Catholic</strong><br />
Education in any way they are able."<br />
An investment in <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> becomes a long-term asset. Gifts flow directly to<br />
our young people and help form the faith-based, academic foundation that prepares<br />
students for a lifetime. Planned gifts for <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> can be in the form of<br />
bequests, wills, beneficiary designations, trusts, and annuities. Like Anne Marie, you<br />
may provide an unrestricted gift or direct your gift to a specific area of school life.<br />
A properly planned estate or deferred gift to <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> offers<br />
potential tax and other financial benefits for your estate and heirs. It is important to<br />
consider how charitable gifts might impact your overall estate plan.<br />
Planned Giving participants are enrolled in the Veritas Society of <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong><br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Of course, there is an option of remaining anonymous.<br />
