Queen of Angels

From the Pastor

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Greetings of peace and joy!

We have journeyed together as a parish community for the past six years. Our parish has come a long way, experiencing the blessings and goodness of God. You’ve been so gracious and generous in your support for our parish. We continue to envision our Queen of Angels as a closely knit praying community. Now, we are called to renew our faith and commitment to the building and strengthening of our parish community.

As we continue to take part in the mission of the Church, we must continue working on the vineyard of the Lord to ensure that our local Church is strong and will remain vibrant for future generations. To realize this vision, Queen of Angels 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 the parishes and elevate the ministries of our Archdiocese.

By the grace of God, our parish continues to exist because of your support and generosity. I am amazed at how parishioners have worked together to meet the needs that arise. Together, we continue to create an inspiring community here at Queen of Angels, a beacon of Christ’s love. 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, Queen of Angels will be able to address our parish’s most pressing needs. Through much prayer, meetings and consultation, we have decided to replace the parish hall’s roof and renovate its restrooms. 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 pastor, I hope you will embrace this opportunity for our parish.

Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Fr. Joy Lawrence Santos, Pastor
