St. Peter Italian

Del Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

It is with immense joy and sincere gratitude that with this letter I announce the beginning of the capital campaign in our parish, in collaboration with the archdiocese, which bears the title Called to Renew.

This campaign will provide much-needed funds for churches in our archdiocese to repair and renovate their structures. Naturally this campaign will also benefit our Church of Saint Peter.

Each parish has a goal for the campaign; our goal is $120,000. 50% percent of all funds raised will go to the Parish; if we exceed our goal, 100% of every dollar over the goal will go to the Parish. This means we could receive $60,000 or more to support our projects.

St. Peter Italian Parish has a great tradition of service in Los Angeles. The Called to Renew campaign allows us to continue our presence in the community. On the next page, there is more information about our plans for the use of the funds.

As your Pastor, I invite you to take a moment to pray and discern how you can support this campaign. Also, I invite you to consider a donation commitment payable over a period of five years. Your promise gives us the best chance of achieving our goal. Our Mission is a wonderful community of faith, and I assure you that I feel very fortunate to be your Pastor. I am confident that each of you will do what you can to ensure our success in this campaign.

For the good outcome of this campaign, we ask for the intercession of all the Patron Saints we venerate in our church, especially St. Peter the parish Patron Saint.

I thank you beforehand for your generous support.

Peace in Christ,

Rev. Gianantonio Baggio C.S.
