St. Bernadette

Del Pastor

Queridos amigos en Cristo,

It is with great joy and heartfelt gratitude that I announce the launch of St. Bernadette Parish’s campaign in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Called to Renew effort. This campaign will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese, including ours.

Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $785,000, of which 67 percent will remain at St. Bernadette. We will also retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal. If our campaign is successful, we will have $525,000 to address our own needs.

St. Bernadette has a rich history of service in Baldwin Hills and southwest Los Angeles. Called to Renew will allow us to continue to be a vital presence in our community by helping us to address some of our most pressing capital issues. You will find details about our campaign on the following page, which I encourage you to read.

As your parish life director, I invite you to take time in prayer to discern how you can best support this campaign. I also ask you to consider making a five-year pledge, which will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal.

St. Bernadette is a wonderful faith community, and I know that you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success.

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

Thank you in advance for your faithful support.

Paz en cristo,

Deacon Jim Carper
