The Isabel Roser Society

Leave a Legacy of Compassion and Faith

Planned giving is a powerful way to ensure that IVC’s mission of service and spiritual growth continues for generations to come. By including IVC in your estate plans, you create a lasting impact—helping faith-driven corps members serve communities in need while deepening their own spiritual journeys.

Honoring Isabel Roser’s Legacy

The Isabel Roser Society is named in honor of Isabel Roser, a remarkable Catalan noblewoman whose generosity helped St. Ignatius of Loyola establish the Society of Jesus. Her financial assistance and unwavering support allowed the Jesuits to serve the poor, provide education, and foster spiritual formation—values that continue to inspire IVC’s mission today.

By joining the Isabel Roser Society, you ensure that IVC corps members can continue serving the most vulnerable, just as Isabel Roser’s generosity shaped the Jesuit tradition of service.
