Our Parish Receives
$1,255,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The roof on the church has now exceeded its life expectancy and repairing sections is no longer cost-efficient. Replacing the roof will prevent future damage to the church. Painting the interior of the church will restore its luster and enrich our worship experience.
Our parish center is in need of renovations. Remodeling the kitchen will make it more functional. Replacing the vents will supply us with fresh and clean air. We will also replace the concrete and drains.
Our school parking lot needs to be resurfaced and the grading and drainage repaired. We will install a fixed canopy for our school children to have lunch. Furthermore, we will fix the sprinklers, re-sod the field, and replace the front fence.
We are proud of our new multipurpose room, but the current furniture is outdated. We will add flexible seating, tables, and storage cabinets that will be more conducive to this space. Additionally, we will replace the plumbing and remodel the school restrooms, with new fixtures, new flooring, and new stalls. We will also remodel the faculty lounge by replacing the sink, flooring, ceiling, and furniture, as well as renovate the restrooms. Finally, we will install air conditioning in the gym.
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.
