Our Parish Receives
$490,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Music is essential to worship here at SS. Peter and Paul. After many years, our organ requires significant maintenance and restoration. We will replace our organ with a new instrument that will complement our celebrations for many more generations to come.
Community and celebration are essential to parish life. Our parish hall kitchen is greatly limited for food preparation and safety. Remodeling this kitchen with new exhaust fans and equipment, and restructuring the space to meet city requirements, will enable us to prepare the great food our parishioners have grown to love.
Our church is one of the most beautiful in Los Angeles. From our pews, we hear God’s Word and participate in many parish celebrations of the Mass and other devotions. After years of usage by thousands of people each week, our pews are in need of professional refinishing and our kneelers must be replaced.
A rainy-day fund will ensure we are able to meet future maintenance or emergency funding needs should they arise.
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.
