Getting Your House in Order

Saturday, February 21, 2026

Please join us for Getting Your House In Order — an expert-led seminar, hosted by Saint Jude clergy and parishioners, that will discuss important family and life topics to help us “get our house in order.”

Learn about the importance of having a will, options for advance care directives, how to get a power of attorney, when trusts are needed, end-of-life care, planned giving, and more.

This event is ideal for guests of all ages who are planning for their future, as well as those entrusted with their parents’ care. End-of-life planning may be an uncomfortable topic, but the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family is taken care of is invaluable.

Our speakers will include:

  • Fr. Ben Thomsen — Church Teaching on End-of-Life Care
  • Mr. Mark Houghton — Practical Road Map for Executors and Planned Giving
  • Mr. Chuck Hampton — Directives for Healthcare, Power of Attorney, Last Will and Testament
