- Perpetual Light Society
  
  The Perpetual Light Society was created to honor those who have named the Diocese of Austin, their parish, a Catholic school or the Catholic Foundation – Diocese of Austin as a beneficiary in their will or trust, retirement account or life insurance policy. The Diocese of Austin is grateful for our legacy donors and sought a way to acknowledge these special benefactors during their lifetimes.
  
  In conjunction with our mission, this special society provides an opportunity for benefactors to not only make their philanthropy a perpetual legacy for themselves but to also inspire others. In addition, the foundation of support their generosity creates makes our parishes, schools and nonprofits stronger, more sustainable and better equipped to reach future generations.
