"I give the sum of $_____(or____% of estate) to the Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk, 81-15 Utopia Parkway, Jamaica, NY 11432, to be used or disposed of as congregation deems appropriate in its sole discretion."

Membership in the St. Angela Legacy Circle is accomplished by simply notifying us that you have named the Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk as a beneficiary of your estate.
