To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The roof of the Church is past its useful life expectancy. This is evident every time it rains and portions of the roof start to leak. We have made do by patching up sections, but it’s time to properly replace the roof and prevent further damage and potential accidents from happening.
The lighting in the Church is uneven in certain sections. To address this issue, we will convert to LED lighting. LED lighting, in addition to being more energy-efficient and long-lasting, is easier to control and focus in a particular direction and the light is more evenly distributed.
Our current cooling system was installed in the late 1960’s and it’s becoming more and more difficult to find replacement parts; and thus, becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. In addition, the technology of the 1960’s is much less efficient and requires more electricity to run while, at the same time, not being very capable of cooling, especially with the extreme temperatures we are experiencing in this day and age. Therefore, we intend to use a portion of the funds to install a new HVAC system to help better moderate the temperature in the church to make our worship experience more comfortable in a more efficient and responsible manner.
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.
