Catholic Advisors List

The Archdiocese of Toronto's Office of Stewardship Development assists parishioners and their professional advisors in the preparation of planned and major gifts to Parishes and Archdiocesan charities (ShareLife, The Shepherds' Trust and St. Augustine's Seminary).

To assist Catholics who want to make gifts of this nature, the Archdiocese is expanding its "Catholic Lawyers List" to encompass Catholic professional advisors who may be involved in the creation of tax-smart giving plans.

If you or someone you know is a professional "donor advisor" (i.e., lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, trust officers, insurance and stock brokers) who may wish to be included in this new list, please contact Paul Nazareth, Manager of Planned Giving and Major Gifts, Archdiocese of Toronto, at 416-934-0606, toll free 1-800-263-2595 or via email at pnazareth@archtoronto.org.
