Our Parish Receives
$500,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Our church’s HVAC system is more than 60 years old, and maintenance over the years has been costly. A new energy-efficient HVAC system to help moderate the temperature in the church will make our worship experience more comfortable.
Our church rectory is in dire need of updates and repairs, including plumbing. This building not only serves as our administrative center, it is where incoming parishioners and guests visit with the pastor and his staff.
Sometimes the Mass is difficult to hear because of the inferior, antiquated quality of our current speaker system. We will install a new sound system in the church.
When we install the new air conditioning system, we will also replace the lower flat roof, which is also 60 years old, and treat the upper white roof to a new coat of white, elastomeric coating.
The school is an important part of our parish community, as students who attend Catholic schools are more likely to remain practicing Catholics as adults. New modular buildings for classrooms will replace existing ones now past warranty.
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.
