Parish Needs

Parish Hall

Our parish hall is long overdue for a renovation. Replacing the ceiling tiles, flooring, air conditioning, and installing new windows, will greatly improve this space for meetings, events, and faith formation.

Sound System

The inferior quality of our sound system often make it difficult to hear and participate at Mass. Installing a new sound system and updating the microphones on the altar and in the music area will improve sound quality in the church.

Security System

The safety of our children and all visitors to our parish is a major priority. Installing a security system with cameras will help us ensure a safer environment.

Accessibility

Our current chain-link fencing limits access to our church during school hours for parishioners with limited mobility. Installing a sturdier and longer- lasting wrought iron fence, with a new section between the church and the school, will ensure the entrance with the wheelchair ramp is always accessible.

Future Maintenance Fund

Establishing a rainy-day fund will ensure we are able to meet future maintenance needs.

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.
Archbishop José H. Gomez
