Our Parish Receives
$1,750,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Expanding the San Juan Capistrano Youth and Young Adult Center will provide our young people with a dedicated space for after school and work gatherings, Sunday Confi rmation lunches, small and large groups sessions, and Bible studies. The center will include homework carrels, safe access to Wi-Fi and technology, restrooms, and space for secure outdoor gatherings, all under the attentive eye of Brett, our youth minister.
Providing a new choir room for our three choirs, cantors, and musicians will allow them rehearsal space during the week, a quiet practice place on Saturday evening, and an area where they can prepare and rehearse for Mass on Sunday mornings. Instruments and sheet music will be securely stored in this room, which will also have ample workspace for arranging the complex binders our instrumentalists and singers use. Its proximity to the church’s choir space will facilitate movement before and after liturgies. Situating a new offi ce for our Music and Liturgy Ministry next to the rehearsal space will free up much-needed offi ce space in the reception corridor, where fi ve staff members currently occupy two small offices.
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.
