Other Ways to Give

Memorials
A wonderful way to remember a loved one or special friend is by making a memorial tribute gift. Gifts may be made in any amount to remember a deceased loved one or to honor a birth, anniversary or other special person in your life. Send your donation to St. Paul’s along with the name of the person you want to remember. Please provide an address and we will send a memorial letter to whomever you designate, informing them of your gift.


Outreach Fund

Giving directly to our parish Outreach provides support for the parish programs that assist individuals, families and communities in the midst of extreme circumstance. The parish assists people directly and through contributions to agencies such as St. Robert’s Center in Venice, and the Westside Good Bank. Donations to this fund are used strictly for these purposes and not for general operations.

Planned Giving
As Christians we know that our life does not end here on earth. Nor do the things we care about and support while we are here end when we are gone. Making a planned gift such as designating St. Paul the Apostle in your will ensures that the ministries and programs you care about deeply will be sustained well beyond your lifetime. Should you wish to include St. Paul’s in your estate planning, advice from your legal advisors is essential. We welcome your inquiry and will be happy to assist you in creating a giving plan according to your wishes. Should you wish to include St. Paul’s in your estate planning, please note that our correct legal title is: “The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, A Corporation Sole for the benefit of St. Paul the Apostle Church, Westwood.”
