Memorial Gifts

In times of loss, gratitude, and remembrance, a gift can become a gentle expression of love.

Memory & thanksgiving

Memorial gifts offer a way to honor a person’s life, remember a faithful witness, or mark a special event with generosity and prayer. We receive these gifts with gratitude and care.

We offer two options for giving in memory or in thanksgiving of a loved one or an event: the Memorial Fund and the Memorial Garden Fund.

Choosing between the two funds

Choose the Memorial Fund to support the broader ministry of Saint Peter’s.

Choose the Memorial Garden Fund to help preserve the care, beauty, and sacred character of the Memorial Garden

If you are unsure, contact the church office.
