Our Parish Receives
$447,500
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Being that the Church is our main place of worship, we are always looking for ways to improve where we gather. This restoration will include renovating our stained-glass windows, Church and Parish Hall doors, updating our old sound system and purchasing a new organ. These minor adjustments will help enrich our Liturgy celebrations.
The parking lots are the first impression that people have of our Parish. Unfortunately, they are worn and require much needed maintenance. With Called to Renew funds, we plan to resurface the parish lots, install new automatic gates and update fencing. As part of this renovation project, we will install a new door system for the priest garage.
Our restrooms are in much need of repair and make over. Completely renovating the restrooms will make them accessible and more welcoming to all parishioners.
Our current AC system is too small for our Church building. Installing a new and larger HVAC system will cool and heat the space more efficiently and make our worship more comfortable. We also plan to provide a similar system in the school to enhance our gathering spaces.
Our school is currently being utilized for Catechism and Parish Life. Due to many years of wear and tear, our school is in much need of a complete make over. This restoration will include roofing, new windows, fixing structural issues, painting and fencing to provide an enhanced a safe learning environment for our youth and parishioners.
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.
