Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.
Our Parish Receives
$87,500
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The pews in the Church have been in use for nearly 70 years. Many of the kneelers are broken, and the wood varnish is worn down. Refinishing the pews will bring the luster back for the comfort and safety of our parishioners.
Installing video monitors in the Church building will allow for a full and rich multi-media worship experience for our congregation.
The restrooms in the Church and parish hall will be upgraded and refurbished to ensure the comfort and accessibility of all our parishioners.
The interior and exterior of the Rectory building need a new coat of paint. The exterior of the Church building will also be repainted, bringing new life io our worship space. Finally, we would like to repaint our upper and lower parking lots.
Our three existing standard gates around our campus will be replaced with new, motorized versions, for security and accessibility.
The stairs that connect our Church and parking lot prove a challenge for some parishioners. We would like to improve the accessibility of our campus by installing alternative infrastructure in order to ensure the safety and comfort of all.
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.
