CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to Ted and Karen Dedmon on the
occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary on April 22nd.
The US Bishops launched the National Pastoral Initiative
for Marriage in 2005 to call attention to the meaning and
value of married life for the Church and for society. Please
inform the parish office if you are celebrating your 25th,
50th, or 50+ wedding anniversary so that we can support
the Bishops’ initiative on marriage.
WORLDWIDE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER
As in the gospel today, sometimes our minds need to be
opened to know what God has done for us, and what he
wants for us in our marriage. The next Worldwide Marriage
Encounter weekends are May 1-3 in Greensboro and July 31
-August 2 in Chapel Hill. For more information visit
NCMarriageDiscovery.org.

LIFE INSURANCE LEFT BEHIND
Most of us acquire life insurance to help fund a
personal need in case we should not live as long as we
hoped. Fortunately, many of us outlive our worst-case
scenario. The typical result is that our insurance contract is
in force, paid regularly (maybe even paid up), and growing
in value. In the meantime, perhaps our other assets are
growing to the point where the protection we sought isn’t
as important. The value of the policy seems to be
essentially frozen, even dormant. If it has little benefit to
you today, what does that suggest if it really isn’t necessary
for your heirs or to provide estate liquidity? Is there a
better use for such a policy? A future endowment for St.
Mary Help of Christians or Christ the King Mission
(named for a loved one) could be created with that policy.
If you are currently paying premiums on an older policy or
have insurance you may like to contribute, consider how
your policy could help our parish in the future.
To learn more about how insurance can be used to
create an important planned gift for our parish, contact
Judy Smith, Director of Gift Planning, at 704-370-3320 or
