Our Parish Goal
$945,000
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.
Our Parish Receives
$472,500
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
$150,000 When the Parish Hall was built in 2014, we entered into a covenant with the City of San Fernando that would ensure our parish is providing adequate parking on our campus and utilizing land in an efficient manner. To fulfill our obligation, we will use Called to Renew funds to meet parking space requirements by repaving and striping the parking lot at the Fr. Simon Center, located at 511 Kalisher St., San Fernando, CA.
$325,000 For the protection and safety of the church building and parishioners, the Church tile roof, currently 60 years old, needs repair. Inclement weather has damaged the wood structure under the tiles and the roof has many leaks due to the worn and in some cases vanished, black paper underlayment. A professional evaluation was completed and recommended that the roof damage is addressed in efforts to stop further deterioration of the church building.
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.
