My dear friends, be aware of the great gift that priests represent for the Church and the world. Through their ministry the Lord continues to save mankind, to make Himself present, to sanctify. Give thanks to God, and above all remain close to your priests with prayer and support, especially in moments of difficulty.
Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI

The IRS date of delivery for gifts of stock is the date ownership of stock is transferred to the organization. The date of delivery for a gift of stock that is transferred using a broker is the date the wire transfer arrives in the organization’s brokerage account. Especially at year-end, it is important for you to know that the arrival of the wire transfer is the event which determines date of delivery, not the day you contact the broker with instructions to transfer the stock.
