To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The pews in the Church get used a lot and are beginning to show their age. Many of the pews are cracking, and several kneelers are broken. We will refurbish the pews and fix the kneelers [or install new pews and kneelers] to provide a more comfortable worship space for all.
It has been many years since the bell tower of the Church was last repaired. Proceeds from the campaign will be used to repair the bell tower stucco and paint.
Depending on the time of year, the temperature in the parish hall can get uncomfortable. Our Church was built at a time when indoor cooling/heating was not common. We will install a new air conditioning system to help moderate the temperature in the hall to make our community experience more comfortable. We will also use some of the funding to paint the inside of the parish hall.
Remodeling and renovating the confessional rooms will allow parishioners to better celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation.
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.
