To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Beauty is an integral and essential part of our Catholic liturgy. When a church’s beauty is allowed to wither, the liturgy experience suffers. It is time for us to restore some of the beauty and luster to our church with new visual screen technology, modifying the altar area, and re-upholstering the adoration chapel chairs. Rain gutters will be replaced and the uneven concrete ground by the main driveway and rectory will be leveled. An automatic main gate entrance to the church will be installed.
A clean and beautiful landscaping contributes a welcoming atmosphere and beckons visitors to seek a peaceful place. We will add low maintenance plants and decorative stones on the pathway around the church by Gault Street and Whitaker Ave.
The unending plumbing problem has been a long history of major issues on slow and clogged drains, leaky faucets, and low water pressure. The pipes that connect to the church, rectory, and school located by the main driveway needs significant replacement by separating the parish pipe connections from the school.
The auditorium and kitchen have served students, families, and friends for many years on events, and ceremonial occasions. We will restructure the kitchen and modify the auditorium by improving lighting, replacing tables and chairs, and adding bathrooms.
The floor in the rectory will be replaced with long lasting wood flooring.
We strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere in the parish office ensuring smooth and efficient operations. We will invest a portion of our funds to install Plexiglas workstation dividers & modify floor set up for a safe and efficient place for staffs to work. In addition, upgrade the staff kitchen/luncheon area.
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.
