2023 Rays of Light Where There’s a Will…
Many people put off the important task of creating a sound estate plan because they underestimate its importance and/or lack knowledge about executing a proper will. In this season’s Rays of Light, AMM members are invited to receive a free brochure to help clear up confusion and put people on the path to a better understanding of commonly misunderstood truths about the final distribution of their assets. “24 Things People ‘Know’ About Wills that Aren’t Really So” (X118) is available free upon your request. Thank you for your generous support to ensure the future of Our Lady’s mission being carried out here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville.
“Blessed the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his
commands. His descendants shall be mighty in the land, a generation of
the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house; his
righteousness shall endure forever.”
