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.
As active and involved parishioners, you are aware of the many blessings we must be grateful for at St. Anastasia. Your family has likely celebrated many rites of passage here, such as Baptism and First Communion. You may have exchanged wedding vows in our church or bid farewell to a loved one in the comfort of our spiritual home. Truly, our parish plays a vital role throughout our lives.
But have you ever stopped to reflect on who is responsible for all we enjoy and use today?
Nearly 70 years ago, our founding members built the very buildings we enjoy today. Just as we have benefited from the generosity of those who came before us, we, too, are Called to Renew our Church so future generations have the same opportunities to worship and encounter Christ.
I am pleased to announce that our parish is relaunching Called to Renew . We began this historic campaign in January 2020 before parishes closed due to the pandemic, and it is now time for us to complete our campaign. I invite you to fully consider God’s many blessings in your life, our parish, and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
We have been given a goal for the campaign of $1,245,000, of which 50% —$622,500— will be invested directly into our parish. Additionally, 100% of the funds we collect over our goal are entirely ours to invest in additional projects and will help us pave the ground for our renewed vision of St. Anastasia Church and school.
Through much prayer and discussion, we have decided to direct our share of campaign funds to the remodeling of our church, faith formation, additional security for our school campus, and upgrades to the school’s infrastructure.
Please prayerfully consider a five-year pledge to the campaign to keep our Church vibrant and healthy, and to ensure our parish remains a presence in our community for years to come.
l hope you will join me in supporting Called to Renew.

Parish Needs
Upgrade the Church Nave
Enhance our current remodeling plans to include upgraded flooring and fresh paint, new pews and seating, updated lighting, and an upgraded AV system. Once completed, our beloved St. Anastasia will be an even more beautiful and welcoming place of worship, exuding reverence and awe for our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Enhance Faith Formation
Set aside specific funds for our teachers, catechists, and ministry leadership volunteers to attend development conferences, which will allow them to explore new and engaging ways to connect parish youth and young adults with the Church.
Invest in School Security and Infrastructure
Create a safer school environment with upgraded security cameras and a year-round campus security guard. We will also upgrade our electrical panels in preparation for the future installation of a long-wished for HVAC system.
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.
