An Estate Planning Professionals’ Directory—The Legal Titles & Purposes Manual lists the legal titles and purposes of Catholic Institutions and Organizations within the boundaries of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis. It is designed to assist professional estate and financial planners with the appropriate titling for Catholic institutions and identify charitable causes that match clients’ charitable interests.

Listings in the directory include contact person, legal title and contact information. A purpose statement and description on each organization can help potential donors identify organizations that match their own charitable intentions.
