Our community is excited to participate alongside all parishes, missions and Catholic centers in the Archdiocese to strengthen and renew our Church for the future. Please continue reading to learn how this campaign will benefit us.
These are exciting times for the Church in Southern California! Archbishop Gomez has called us all to a period of renewal — a renewal of not only our resources, but a spiritual renewal as well. I am pleased to announce the launch of our parish’s Called to Renew campaign. This historic effort will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, including ours, as well as strengthen important ministries and programs that affect us all.
Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $320,000, of which 50 percent will remain at our parish. We will also retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal. If our campaign is successful, we will receive a minimum of $160,000 to address our own needs.
While our goal is above and beyond what we normally raise for Holy Spirit, our community is worthy of this incredible investment. Future generations will see this dedication to our parish’s legacy as an example to follow.
Holy Spirit has a rich history in Los Angeles. Called to Renew will ensure we can continue to be a vital presence in our community. Details about how we plan to use our share of campaign funds are on the following page.
Please take a moment to prayerfully discern how you can most generously support this campaign. I also encourage you to consider making a five-year pledge, which will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal. This is a wonderful parish, and I am amazed at how our community always works together to meet needs that arise. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success.
We entrust this campaign to the intercessions of our Blessed Mother, Queen of the Angeles.

Parish Needs
Parish Hall Roof
The roof on the Parish Hall is past its useful life expectancy. From time to time, we experience leaks. Up until now we have made do by patching up sections. We can no longer put off the effectible. We will replace the roof which keep further damage from happening to our Hall.
Electrical Wiring
The electrical wiring in our church needs to be upgraded to code. We will use our Called to Renew funds to install new electrical panels that can handle all our technical systems. With new electrical wiring we will increase lighting and create a safer environment.
Plumbing
The pluming through out our church is in need of repairs. We want to be able to fix and replace pipes throughout the property that have been neglected throughout the years, before the create problems in the future.
A Bold Plan of Renewal
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.
