St. Dominic

Del Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

In 1921, when a handful of families sacrificed to establish St. Dominic 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 parish of more than 3,000 families. We have created a vibrant, active, and dynamic place for people of all ages to grow in their faith, serve others, and share the Good News as they connect with Christ, one another, and those in need.

It is with a sense of heartfelt gratitude for all that God has done for St. Dominic’s during these last 100 years and with a desire that we do our part in keeping and passing on our faith for the next century, that I announce the launch of the Called to Renew campaign at St. Dominic’s. This campaign 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 $1,130,000.00, of which 50 percent will remain at our parish. We will also retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal. If our campaign is successful, we will receive a minimum of $565,000.00 to address our own needs.

St. Dominic’s has a rich history in Eagle Rock, and 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 campaign funds are on the following page.

Please take a moment to discern prayerfully 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 has always worked together to meet needs that arise. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success.

With confidence in the guidance and help of our generous God and the intercession of our Blessed Mother and St. Dominic, I thank you in advance for your faithful support.

Peace in Christ,

Rev. Roberto Corral, OP
