Our Parish Goal
$1,270,000
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.
Our Parish Receives
$855,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Renovating our convent will provide our parish priests with living space separate from the parish office and create a gathering space for the parish’s social events. The second floor of our rectory will then be converted into classroom space to accommodate the school’s elective classes for our growing student population. Our Religious Education program will utilize this space on Sundays to alleviate space concerns for all of our faith formation programs.
Creating a scholarship endowment will ensure no student is denied a Catholic education because of financial hardship. This vital endowment, which will be named for Our Lady of Malibu’s beloved former shepherd, will help form Christ-centered leaders for the future of the Church.
Creating a memorial garden on the north end of the church garden will offer parishioners an eternal resting place on the grounds of their spiritual home. Pending approval, the memorial garden will include a beautiful hardscape with a columbarium.
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.
Our parishes are more than buildings; they are the spiritual homes for millions in our Archdiocese. Embracing our mission to be a community of praise, worship, and witness, Called to Renew recognizes the vital role of parishes in the day-to- day life of a vibrant Church and is dedicated to meeting their needs.
As Christians, we are called to meet the spiritual and temporal needs of others. Called to Renew provides us with an extraordinary opportunity to expand and enhance our ministries to the most vulnerable among us, so we may walk with the sick and dying as well as with the victims and perpetrators of violent crimes and their families.
The future of our Church is strengthened when men hear and answer the Lord’s call to serve as his shepherds. The Archdiocese is committed to vocations and the formation of our seminarians and clergy, so they may minister with joyful hearts in the years ahead.
Our mission to live in greater communion with God and the Church is carried out through our parish and diocesan schools, religious education and faith formation programs, and our presence on college campuses throughout Southern California.
