Our Lady Queen of Angels (La Placita) Catholic Church
Los Angeles
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.
It is with immense joy and heartfelt gratitude that I announce the launch of the Called to Renew campaign at Our Lady of Angels “La Placita” Parish, in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. This campaign’s purpose is to raise much-needed funds for parishes while promoting our Church’s ministries.
As part of this initiative, each parish has been given a goal. Our goal is $435,000. Fifty percent of all funds we raise are for our parish and, if we exceed this amount, 100 percent of each dollar above the goal will remain at our parish. Through this campaign, we have the opportunity to receive more than $217,500 to address to our own needs.
Our Lady Queen of Angels has a strong tradition of service in Los Angeles County. Called to Renew will allow us to continue our work in the community. On the following page, you will find more information about how we plan to use our share of campaign funds.
As your pastor, I invite you to take a moment to pray and discern how you can support this campaign. I also urge you to listen to the call of the Holy Spirit in your heart and to consider the possibility of a pledge for a five-year period. Pledges will be a great blessing for us, and vital to achieving our goal. This parish is a wonderful community of faith, and I am very fortunate to be your pastor.
We pray for the intercession of Our Blessed Mother and our Lord Jesus Christ to make this campaign a success,
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.

Parish Needs
HVAC System
When temperatures in Southern California reach extreme levels, carrying out the
indispensable administrative tasks and religious and evangelization activities in
our parish halls and meeting rooms becomes difficult. Ensuring the temperatures
inside are adequate is vitally important to the safety of staff and parishioners and
the continuity of ministries, brotherhoods, and community services. Installing a new
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system will better control the temperature
and provide higher energy efficiency.
Ceilings and Rooftops
Maintaining our roofs is essential to avoiding the formation of cracks, which
cause leaks and water damage in the parish halls and offices, and to eliminating
the risk of loose tile falling on someone or something. Repairing roofs will not
only improve the appearance of the buildings but will also ensure the safety of
parishioners and people working in “La Placita.”eliminating the risk of loose

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.
