Greener Lent
Join a Lenten program rooted in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, with special concern for the poor and most vulnerable. Just as we affirm life for the unborn and the elderly, we are called to choose life for communities harmed by the unintended consequences of global power generation and industrialized agriculture.
In keeping with Catholic Lenten tradition, participants reduce consumption of meat, pray, and give alms. Each year, Greener Lent saves the carbon equivalent of a tanker of gasoline, inspires thousands of prayers, and has helped provide clean water to 1,300 Catholics in sub-Saharan Africa over the past two years.

Secure Your Legacy, Strengthen Your Faith
For the faithful of the Diocese of Raleigh, estate planning offers an opportunity to ensure your loved ones are cared for while leaving a lasting legacy that reflects your values and faith.
Why Estate Planning Matters
Estate planning is not only for the wealthy—it’s for everyone!
By creating a thoughtful plan, you ensure that your wishes are honored and that your family is protected. But more importantly, it provides an opportunity to consider the long-term impact of your giving. Many of our parishioners choose to include their parish, school, or diocesan ministries in their plans, allowing them to support the Church even after they’ve gone home to God.
How The Foundation Can Help
We are here to guide you through this process, offering expertise and support as you navigate the intricacies of estate planning. We can help answer any questions you may have, from:
- How to include a charitable gift in your will.
- Understanding tax benefits available to you.
- How best to structure your giving to reflect your values and faith.
In-Person Seminars at Your Parish
This year, we are proud to continue to offer in-person estate planning seminars at parishes throughout the diocese. These seminars will provide valuable insights on the legal and financial steps you can take to ensure your wishes are met. The seminars are designed to demystify estate planning and empower you to make decisions that benefit both your family and your faith community.
We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity during Estate Planning Awareness Week to start—or continue—planning for your future. Contact The Foundation of the Diocese of Raleigh for more information or to schedule a seminar at your parish.
