Our Parish Receives

To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Our church is an important part of our community. Whether you are a lifelong parishioner, new to the parish, or perhaps your children or grandchildren attend school here, you are part of what make St. Albert’s great! Building community requires space for gatherings and socializing. For this reason and more, we would like to use our Called to Renew funds to create an outdoor gathering area. Our idea is to build a shade structure over the parking lot behind the church. The structure would be large enough so that it could still be used for parking, but in addition, it would have picnic tables for gatherings. The school children can use the space during the week to get some relief from the sun. Evenings and weekends the space would be available to for meetings and social gatherings.
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.
