Advancement

We are especially grateful to those who walk with us as constant companions in mission.

The Circle of Companions (COC) is the Midwest Jesuits’ recurring gift program. It allows you:

  • To build your charitable giving into a frequency (monthly, quarterly or semi-annually) that fits your budget.

  • To designate your recurring gift for Jesuit needs like vocations, formation, education or care for senior Jesuits. Gifts may be made locally or internationally, or simply to the greatest need.

  • To make your recurring gift in honor or in memory of a loved one or Jesuit.

  • The convenience to charge your recurring gift to your credit card or deduct it from your bank account.

  • Peace of mind that your gift is eco-friendly. Instead of receiving multiple acknowledgement letters, we send you one annual donation statement at the end of the year. This helps the Jesuits better steward your gift by reducing paper waste, postage and administrative costs.

  • Flexibility to change your gift or amount at any time, or to cancel.

We invite you to enroll as a Circle of Companions donor with a recurring gift, by making a note on the envelope enclosed in this magazine. Or contact Margie O’Neill at 773-975-6911 or moneill@jesuits.org

“WE ARE DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO OUR FRIENDS WHO REMEMBER US THROUGH RECURRING GIVING. FINANCIAL NEEDS SOMETIMES ARISE FOR WHICH WE ARE UNABLE TO PLAN, AND FOR WHICH IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ASK FOR HELP IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE RELIABLE GIFTS OF THESE GENEROUS BENEFACTORS ALLOW OUR WORK TO CONTINUE UNINTERRUPTED.”

Very Rev. Karl J. Kiser, SJ Provincial USA Midwest Province

Cards for All Occasions

The Midwest Jesuits are pleased to share Mass and special occasion cards appropriate for the important moments in your life. Whether in joy or sorrow, our cards will show your loved ones how much you care. Perpetual Remembrances, notecards, and Mass requests are also available. All are remembered in Masses celebrated by the Jesuits.
