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.
To ensure our local Church is strong and vibrant for future generations, Immaculate Conception is participating, alongside our sister parishes in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, in the Called to Renew campaign. I am excited to invite you to be a part of this initiative to strengthen parishes and elevate ministries of our Archdiocese.
Our parish exists because of your generosity. I am amazed at how parishioners have worked together to meet needs that arise. Together, we continue to create an inspiring community here at Immaculate Conception.
Called to Renew gives us a tremendous opportunity to come together as an archdiocesan family to serve our local Church alongside our brothers and sisters across Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. This is truly an extraordinary opportunity to live out our call to serve as His disciples!
Through Called to Renew, Immaculate Conception will be able to address our parish’s most pressing needs. Through much prayer, meetings and consultation, we have decided to invest in building a community plaza for our Church. You can further read details about these projects on the following pages.
Please take a moment to review the impact Called to Renew will have on our parish and across the Archdiocese of Los Angeles — ultimately affecting more than 5 million of your brothers and sisters for generations to come. This campaign has my full support. As your Parish Life Director, I hope you will embrace this opportunity for our parish.

Parish Needs
Building a Community Plaza
To foster a better sense of community, we need to create a gathering space for parishioners. A new outdoor plaza will be used for processions and festivals, and will also provide respite from the hot sun before and after Mass. In other words, this plaza will build community.
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.
