EMPOWERING CATHOLICS TO ALIGN THEIR FAITH AND FINANCE

EMPOWERING CATHOLICS TO ALIGN THEIR FAITH AND FINANCE

Invest with Purpose, Grow with Faith

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR INVESTMENTS ARE FUNDING?

The reality is that it is pretty unlikely you really know what your investments are funding. Given the huge scope and size of most publicly traded companies, it is difficult for the average investor to know all the lines of business they engage in and where their corporate giving is directed to.

That may mean that indirectly (and unintentionally) you are providing them with capital that they spend on causes which you would never support if you knew about it.

This is where Aquinas Wealth and their Faith & Finance Score come in. We provide you with the transparency to see what investments are contributing to and how it aligns with traditional catholic values.

But we don’t stop there, when you work with Aquinas Wealth we help you realign your portfolio to investments that do align with your values while still working to achieve your financial goals.

Book-Faithful Finances Six Steps to Establishing a Catholic Financial Life

In our consumerist society, it is easy to fall into financial woes and become enslaved by monetary troubles. In these liberating pages, Chris McMahon provides a user-friendly guide to help you break free from financial worries and plan prudently for your family’s future.

This handy manual will guide you in developing a family mission statement, core values, short- and long-term goals, aspirations, and guiding principles, providing examples of each. McMahon underscores the importance of building financial security, from obtaining personal and professional insurances, to will creation and estate planning, to navigating living wills and health-care proxies, to charitable contributions and philanthropy.

  • How to take inventory of your financial life and make SMART goals
  • The six-step process to help you retake control of your financial life
  • Tips on how to invest in light of your goals, risk tolerance, and financial situation
  • Eight ways to attain 360-degree alignment between your faith and finances
