2 St. Angela Merici Parish extends a warm welcome to the 5th Bishop of Monterey! Our St. Angela Merici Parish welcomes Auxiliary Bishop Daniel Garcia, who comes to us from Austin, Texas, as our new Bishop of the Diocese of Monterey. He will be installed on Tuesday, January 29, Image courtesy of the Diocese of Austin, Texas We extend our warmest wishes and keep him in our prayers as he transitions to the Monterey area and becomes our Bishop here in the Diocese of Monterey. Dear Parishioner, At this time of year, why not consider a gift to your parish? The good news is you still have time to make a charitable gift that will lower your taxable income preserving more cash for you and your family. Here are three charitable giving strategies worth considering that can provide you with additional tax savings and cash flow: CASH GIFT - Make a gift of any amount and receive an income tax deduction this year. APPRECIATED ASSET GIFT - Avoid capital gains tax on the sale of your assets by giving your stock or real estate to charity. Save on taxes with a charitable deduction. CHARITABLE LIFE INCOME PLAN - Make a gift and receive income for life! Avoid capital gains tax by giving an appreciated asset and receive a charitable tax deduction. Fr. Seamus
