Mary Immaculate

From the Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

As an active and faith-filled parishioner, you are aware of the many blessings we have to be grateful for at Mary Immaculate. Your family has likely celebrated many rites of passage here, such as Baptism to First Communion. You may have exchanged wedding vows in our church or bid farewell to a loved one in the comfort of your spiritual home. Truly, our parish plays a vital role throughout our lives.

But have you ever stopped to reflect on who is responsible for all we enjoy and use today?

Just as we have benefited from the generosity of those who have come before us, we, too, are called to renew our Church so future generations can worship and encounter Christ.

I am pleased to announce the launch of our parish’s Called to Renew campaign and invite you to consider God’s many blessings in your life, our parish, and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $920,000, of which 50 percent will remain at our parish. We also will retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal.

Please take a moment to read on the following page how Called to Renew will benefit our parish, and how we will use our share of campaign funds.

To give us the best opportunity to reach our goal, I am asking you to prayerfully consider a five-year pledge to the campaign. Called to Renew is essential to ensuring our Church is vibrant and healthy, and our parish remains a presence in lives of parishioners and this community for years to come.

I hope you will join me in supporting Called to Renew.

Peace in Christ,

Rev. Abel Loera
