Our Parish Receives
$107,500
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The sanctuary is the most holy place in our community. Adding new lighting for the altars and gold leafing of the retablos, replacing two lecterns with new microphones, and refurbishing the Sacrament of Reconciliation confessionals to be accessible to all will enhance our worship experience.
Converting the former baptistery into a devotions room will provide us with a space to pray to Mary, who opens the door to a new dawn and a new day. We will display images of Our Lady of Siluva, Our Lady Gate of the Dawn, Mother of God in Trakai, Blessed George Matulitis, and Blessed Teofilus Matulionis.
Installing new cabinets and shelves will better accommodate our vestments, vessels, missals, books, furnishings, church supplies, and artifacts. We will also renovate the back rooms to limit access and increase security.
Repairing and restoring the stained glass windows will allow more light to shine through as we experience the presence of God.
Enclosing the church and rectory area will protect our families and offer security after Mass and office hours.
Remaining funds will be used as seed money to convert and expand the former garage building into a gathering space for parishioners between Sunday Masses as well as for youth group discussions and study, prayer meetings, and choir rehearsals.
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.
