“After my death, I will let fall a shower of roses. I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth…” – St. Thérese of Lisieux

There are many ways you can make a gift that lasts beyond your lifetime!

Add Us to Your Will

A bequest is the act of leaving a gift to someone in a will. You can leave a bequest in a will or trust to the Avila Foundation or Apostoli Viae by adding the following language to your will.

“I give, devise, and bequeath to the Avila Foundation (or Apostoli Viae), a nonprofit corporation currently located at 800 Cauthen Drive, Montgomery, AL 36105, an amount equal to _____________ percent (_______%) of the value of my estate at the time of my death to be used for general purposes of their mission.”

Create a Will

Most people don’t have wills created because they don’t know how to make one — and planning for the future can be overwhelming. We partnered with My Catholic Will to simplify the process and make this a peaceful and effective way to honor the Lord with your legacy.

Their user-friendly platform guides you through every step of creating a will, ensuring that your intentions are respected while adhering to Catholic principles. You can make one in 15 minutes on mycatholicwill.com/avila for free. Just use coupon code AVILA.

Since your legacy is important, we want to share your story, too. Anyone that includes a gift to the Avila Foundation or Apostoli Viae in your will, will be added to our legacy program, Sts. Louis and Zèlie Martin Family Legacy Garden of Life
