Faithful Stewardship Through Education and Planning

"The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty"

 – Proverbs 21:5

Stewardship is more than just giving—it’s about managing all God has entrusted us. The Catholic Legacy Foundation of Acadiana offers educational seminars to help Catholics navigate estate planning, charitable giving, and end-of-life decisions in alignment with their faith.

Discipling Others

CLFA seminars provide practical guidance and spiritual wisdom, empowering individuals, families, and parishes to make informed financial and legacy decisions that honor God and benefit future generations.


Jesus spoke about money and resources more than any other topic except for the Kingdom of God and love. 


Did you know that under 7% of American wealth is held in cash? When thinking about lifestyles of Gospel-motivated generosity, many of us only really consider how to manage and be generous with a small portion of our overall wealth. End-of-life planning seminars provide a more holistic view of what it looks like to be faithful stewards of 100% of what God has entrusted to us!

Target Audience:

Catholic Families

It’s never too early or too late to educate Catholic families about the importance of end-of-life planning to


  • Fulfill their responsibilities as good Christian stewards
  • Create a faith-based estate plan
  • Provide for and protect their beneficiaries 
  • Ensure complete medical care, rooted in both faith and science
  • Make known their wishes to their families
  • Bless generations to come
