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 Called to Renew at Our Lady Help of Christians Parish. This campaign will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, including ours, as well as strengthen important ministries and programs that impact us all.
Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $210,000, of which 50 percent will remain at our parish. We will also retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal. In other words, if our campaign is successful, we will receive a minimum of $105,000 to address our own needs.
Our Lady Help of Christians has a rich history in Lincoln Heights. 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 our Called to Renew campaign to the intercession of Our Lady Help of Christians.
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.

To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Parish Needs
Parish Hall
Our parish hall is an important gathering space for our community. Replacing the worn flooring will allow us to host the many ministries and events central to our parish life with pride.
Parking Lot
Our parking lot provides a poor first impression of our campus. Resurfacing the parking lot will create a safer and more welcoming environment.
Church Roof
The roof on the church has exceeded its life expectancy and repairing sections is no longer cost-efficient. Replacing the roof will prevent future damage to our worship space.
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.
