Our community is excited to participate alongside all parishes, missions and Catholic centers in the Archdiocese to strengthen and renew our Church for the future. Please continue reading to learn how this campaign will benefit us.
I am pleased to announce the launch of Called to Renew at Ss. Felicitas and Perpetua. This campaign will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, including ours, as well as strengthen important ministries and programs that affect us all.
Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $660,000, of which 50 percent will remain at our parish. We will also retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal. If our campaign is successful, we will receive a minimum of $330,000 to address our own needs.
Ss. Felicitas and Perpetua has a rich history in San Marino. Called to Renew will ensure we can continue to be a vital presence in our community. Details about how we plan to use our share of campaign funds are on the following page.
Please take a moment to prayerfully discern how you can most generously support this campaign. I also encourage you to consider making a five-year pledge, which will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal. This is a wonderful parish, and I know how our community has always worked together to meet needs that arise. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success.
We entrust our Called to Renew campaign to the intercessions of our Blessed Mother and our patrons, Ss. Felicitas and Perpetua.
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.

Parish Needs
Faith Formation & Evangelization
We are all called to deepen our faith, grow in knowledge, and proclaim the gospel. This is the shared mission of the baptized; we are to evangelize. We want to expand faith formation opportunities for families and individuals and meet the needs of all members of this community with special emphasis on Rite of Christian Initiation.
Media and Technology
The installation of video screens and projectors in our gathering spaces will open us to so many new possibilities for presentations that enrich our ministries. We will also review the sound system in the church and the hall to see if any upgrades are necessary to ensure compatibility with our new technology equipment. We plan to provide new laptops to teachers, add color printers in each classroom, and conduct a full upgrade of our computer lab.
Safety and Security
Safety and security are of utmost importance at our parish. We will incorporate video and electronic security enhancements to monitor access to and movement on our campus.
A Bold Plan of Renewal
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.
