Planned Giving
The Blessed Maria Theresia Bonzel Society
The Bonzel Society was created to honor our foundress, Blessed Maria Theresia Bonzel, whose life was inspired by the ideals of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis’ legacy of faith, selfless giving and boundless love continues to guide us. He showed compassion to all, regardless of background, and this spirit was carried to America when Blessed Maria Theresia sent six Sisters from Olpe, Germany, to Lafayette, Indiana in 1875 to begin a ministry of healthcare and education for the poor and neglected.
The Bonzel Society recognizes those who have included Franciscan Health Foundation in their estate or financial plans. These generous individuals help Franciscan Health to thrive and successfully meet the growing needs of our community(s).
