To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The parking lot is the first impression people have of our campus. It leaves a lot to be desired. We will fill in the potholes and cracks and then completely resurface the parking lot, creating a more welcoming and safer environment.
The church roof has passed its useful life expectancy. As a result, we have experienced leaks that we have repaired with patching. We can no longer delay the inevitable and will replace the roof to prevent further damage from occurring.
Our current sound system is outdated, and parishioners often cannot hear services in certain parts of the church or experience an echo. A new sound system will ensure all parishioners are able to hear clearly in the church.
At certain times of year, the temperature in the church can be uncomfortable. When our church was built, indoor cooling and heating was uncommon. We will install a new HVAC system to help moderate the temperature in the church efficiently and improve the comfort of our worship experience.
Our church currently has no restrooms for parishioners to use during services or events. Trips to the restroom require a walk outside, sometimes in inclement weather, to the school restrooms, which are designed for children. We will build new women’s and men’s restrooms in the parish hall that are accessible to all.
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.
