Our Parish Receives
$215,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Pope Frances has placed great importance on the need for better youth and young adult ministry, as this is the age when many leave the church. Developing a Youth Ministry will be a primary goal of our new Associate Pastor.
Depending on the time of year, the temperature in the church can get uncomfortable. Our Church was built at a time when indoor cooling/heating was not common. We will update our HVAC system to help moderate the temperature in the church to make our worship experience more comfortable. To do this, we also must upgrade our electrical panel in the church.
It has been many years since the exterior of the Church was last painted. Proceeds from the campaign will be used to paint the Church and add additional outdoor lighting for safety, beauty, and a distinct eye-catching exterior.
Adding a permanent Baptismal Font is one of the final touches for the interior of the church. A beautiful symbol of our entrance into Catholicism and the importance of evangelization. It is also a necessary step on our path to being named a Divine Mercy Shrine.
We enjoy beautiful stained glass in our church, but it has not been maintained over the years. The lead framing of the glass, especially on the south side of the church, has deformed and threatens the glass itself. Restoring stained glass is a painstaking process but is necessary before we lose some of our treasures.
We — the Catholic faithful — are the agents of renewal for Church and society. I am grateful for this opportunity to walk alongside clergy and parishioners in strengthening our parishes and ministries, the heart of our Archdiocese.
Our parishes are more than buildings; they are the spiritual homes for millions in our Archdiocese. Embracing our mission to be a community of praise, worship, and witness, Called to Renew recognizes the vital role of parishes in the day-to- day life of a vibrant Church and is dedicated to meeting their needs.
As Christians, we are called to meet the spiritual and temporal needs of others. Called to Renew provides us with an extraordinary opportunity to expand and enhance our ministries to the most vulnerable among us, so we may walk with the sick and dying as well as with the victims and perpetrators of violent crimes and their families.
The future of our Church is strengthened when men hear and answer the Lord’s call to serve as his shepherds. The Archdiocese is committed to vocations and the formation of our seminarians and clergy, so they may minister with joyful hearts in the years ahead.
Our mission to live in greater communion with God and the Church is carried out through our parish and diocesan schools, religious education and faith formation programs, and our presence on college campuses throughout Southern California.
