Holy Redeemer & St. James the Less

Del Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

It is with great joy and hope that I announce our combined parishes taking part in the Archdiocesan Capital Campaign: Called to Renew.  Over the last number of years, every parish in the Archdiocese has been asked to take part, and this is our opportunity to do so. The idea for this Archdiocesan Campaign came about after Archbishop Gomez instructed that every parish and school of the Archdiocese be inspected by Structural Engineers. Many of the buildings that the Archdiocese depends on for her ministries are in need of serious repairs. The includes Asbestos abatement, water main repairs, roofs, parking lots, and countless other general repairs.

Each parish has been asked to reach a particular goal. The goal for Holy Redeemer and St. James is $1,475,000, to be pledged over the next five years. 50% or $737,500 of all funds raised, from the first dollar, will be used for the needs of our community. If we raise more than our goal, 100% of that will stay here in the parish.  

Our parishes have a rich history in the local area. Taking part in this Campaign will enable us to continue this fine legacy. Details about how we plan to use our share of the campaign funds can be found on the following page.

Please take a moment to prayerfully discern how you can support our parish and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. I encourage you to consider making a five-year pledge, which will help us succeed in this campaign.  

Even though I have only been here a few months, I took part in Called to Renew in my previous parish. I can attest to you that all monies raised are being used exactly as advertised. This is a wonderful community. I know that we can take part in this campaign for the good of our parishes and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Thank you for all of your support.

Peace in Christ,

Rev. Olin W Mayfield
