All Saints Heritage Society - The Heritage Society is made up of parishioners and friends who have named All Saints Parish in their wills. In the past 110 years, All Saints has benefited greatly from the wise and thoughtful provision of a portion of inheritances to further the work of Christ in our parish. One generation is able to help the next to insure that our parish will be active and vital for generations to come. Parishioners are encouraged to name All Saints in their will. An easy way to do this is to instruct your estate lawyer to amend your will to state that a specific amount or percentage will be designated for the All Saints Endowment Fund upon your death. If you have any questions, please contact Hugh Dunlap at 617-232-6409. And please let Hugh know that you have included All Saints in your will, so that you can be invited to the dinner of the Heritage Society in May.
