CHARLOTTE — Bishop Michael Martin welcomed more than 90 Catholic Heritage Society members to St. Patrick Cathedral Sept. 28 for a special Mass and dinner reception.
The Catholic Heritage Society and the annual gathering are the bishop’s way of recognizing parishioners who have chosen to remember the Church in their estate plans or have established an endowment to benefit any of the diocesan parishes, Catholic schools, ministries, the diocese or the diocesan foundation. The society has more than 1,800 members.
If you have not alerted the diocese of your estate plans or would like more information about the Catholic Heritage Society, bequests or endowments, contact Gina Rhodes, director of planned giving, at 704-370-3364 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
