St. Cyprian

Del Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

In 1944, when a handful of families sacrificed to establish St. Cyprian Parish, they also blessed us with a legacy to build upon and celebrate. Through God’s grace, we have grown from a small faith community into a welcoming family, a vibrant, active, and dynamic place for all ages to grow in their faith and share the Good News as they connect with Christ, one another, and those in need. 

It is with immense joy and heartfelt gratitude that I announce the launch of Called to Renew at St. Cyprian Parish. This historic effort will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, including ours, as well as strengthen important ministries and programs that affect us all. 

Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $505,000, of which 50% will remain here at St. Cyprian. We will also retain 100% of the funds we collect over our goal. If our campaign is successful, we will receive a minimum of $252,500 to address the needs of our community and future generations will see this dedication to our parish’s legacy as an example to follow. 

St. Cyprian Parish has a rich history in the Long Beach/Lakewood area. Called to Renew will ensure we can continue to be a vital presence in our community. Details about how we plan to use our share of the campaign funds are on the following page. 

Please take a moment to prayerfully discern how you can most generously support this campaign. I also encourage you to consider making a five-year pledge, which will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal. This is a wonderful parish, and I am amazed at how our community always works together to meet needs that arise. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success. 

We entrust this campaign to the intercessions of our Blessed Mother and our patron, St. Cyprian. 

Thank you in advance for your continued, faithful and generous support. 

Peace in Christ,

Rev. Alidor Mikobi
