Our Parish Receives
$107,500
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The house of our rectory in the historic West Adams district is very old. It needs major repairs to the electrical system, roof, and the refrigerator. It is important for our priest to have a comfortable home at our parish, and a comfortable place to welcome visitors and conduct business. We will use the opportunity of this campaign to replace the electrical wiring and repair the roof to create a modern, comfortable rectory for our parish.
Our parish hall is the center of our parish activities, but unfortunately it is showing wear. To have a functional and vibrant space for meetings and meals we will use campaign funds to provide crucial repairs to the floors, air conditioning system, bathrooms, and windows. We will also take this opportunity to paint the building exterior and repair the concrete in our courtyard and patio.
The church campus needs significant renovations to provide a safe and comfortable environment for all parishioners. The outside bathrooms need to be updated, and all roofs of the campus buildings need major repairs. To improve the safety and accessibility of our campus we need to repair the lift that allows people to access the parking lot and the church. Finally, we would like to install electric bells in our bell tower to refresh our church’s call to worship.
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.
