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.
It is with immense joy and heartfelt gratitude that I announce the launch of Called to Renew at St. Alphonsus. 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 impact us all.
Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $500,000, of which 56 percent will remain at our parish. We will also retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal. Details about how we plan to use our share of the campaign funds are on the following page.
St. Alphonsus has a rich history in Los Angeles. Called to Renew will ensure we can continue being a vital presence in our community. Please take a moment to prayerfully discern how you can most generously support this campaign. I 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 am amazed at how our community always works 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 patron, St. Alphonsus.
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.

Parish Needs
Pews and Kneelers
After years of use, many our pews are cracking and have broken kneelers. Replacing the pews and kneelers will make our worship experience more comfortable.
Parking Lot
Our parking lot provides a poor first impression of our campus. Repairing the
parking lot will create a safer and more welcoming environment.
Restrooms
The church and parish hall restrooms are in need of upgrading. Remodeling these
restrooms will make them accessible for all parishioners.
Church Lighting
The lighting and electrical system in the church needs to be upgraded. Installing
new fixtures and energy efficient lighting will ensure we are being better stewards of
all of God’s gifts.
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.
