Create a Family Mission Statement
Having a shared sense of purpose and values helps parents and children come together. It establishes ideals for each person in the family to strive for and assists them in choices, both individually and together. It also assists in guiding parents' decisions for the family.
Many of us work for businesses that have Missions and Core Values. During this time that we are encouraged to stay at home with our families, it's a great time to reflect on the Mission and Core Values for your family. Use this Family Mission Statement Template to help you incorporate this fun and interactive exercise in your time together and see your family strengthened and inspired for the future while reinforcing your family values and faith
How to Create a Legacy Video
A Legacy Video is a recorded video sharing life stories, preserving legacies of an individual's life that has passed along their values and beliefs to their children and grandchildren and a living connection to inspire the present and future generations. Whether we are with them or even when we are gone, what is left with our families are the memories, the stories, and the values that we shared with them. This guide shows you step-by-step directions on how to create a legacy video that will be passed down for generations to come. It's a beautiful gesture to commemorate your life, preserve your legacy and transition values to future
Catholic Legacy Journal
We created this Catholic Legacy Journal for you and our hope is that you will use this journal to tell the story of your life and legacy that you are creating. It is a guide to memorialize your stories, your faith, and your values to pass them down to your children and grandchildren. As you reflect on your life and all the blessings that God has bestowed upon you, a Legacy Journal helps you organize and record these precious stories of your life into a keepsake, so that they may be valued and shared by the generations to come. A guide on how to use it is included and it is designed so that you may make copies of the completed work and personalize it for each grandchild.
Legacy Gift Notification Form
Many parishioners like you, after providing for their families, have chosen to leave a legacy gift to their Parish, Parish School, or Diocesan ministry. If you have made a prayerful decision to leave a planned gift such as that, we ask that you please let us know. By doing this, we will be able to thank you and recognize you (by name or anonymously) as a Vivos Christi Society Member.
