Our Parish Receives
$530,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Replacing the roofing system for the contiguous church and hall with a similar, Class-A rated composition roof material will enhance the aesthetic appearance of both buildings.
Replacing the church’s two aging heating and air conditioning systems with a new and reliable HVAC system will provide a more comfortable and hospitable environment with greater cost-efficiency. To support this new system, we will also replace the church’s main electrical panel, which is decades old and incapable of delivering adequate amperage for current technology.
Painting the interior of the church is long overdue and will preserve the plaster walls.
Installing new exterior down-lighting along the walkways and entrances to the church and parish hall will increase safety during the darker months of the year, when parishioners attend evening Masses or faith formation programs. Ambient lighting will also be installed to illuminate architectural features, such as the church steeple.
Refreshing and refurbishing the landscaping surrounding the church and parish hall with plants that will complement the distinctive architectural design of these buildings.
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.
