Perpetual Light Society

The Perpetual Light Society was created to honor those who have named the Diocese of Austin, their parish, a Catholic school or the Catholic Foundation – Diocese of Austin as a beneficiary in their will or trust, retirement account or life insurance policy. The Diocese of Austin is grateful for our legacy donors and sought a way to acknowledge these special benefactors during their lifetimes.

In conjunction with our mission, this special society provides an opportunity for benefactors to not only make their philanthropy a perpetual legacy for themselves but to also inspire others. In addition, the foundation of support their generosity creates makes our parishes, schools and nonprofits stronger, more sustainable and better equipped to reach future generations.

If you have named a Catholic organization in the Diocese of Austin in your estate plan, or are considering doing so, we invite you to become a member of the Perpetual Light Society.

"The Perpetual Light Society provides Catholics in the Diocese of Austin the opportunity to support the charitable works in Central Texas with a gift that will become a legacy of their life’s work and an example for their families. I invite you to consider a bequest or planned gift and continue your personal or family tradition of faithful stewardship beyond your lifetime. Your faithful stewardship demonstrates your selfless support for the ministries of the Diocese of Austin."

Most Reverend Joe S. Vásquez
Bishop of Austin
