St. Elizabeth of Hungary | Called to Renew

Letter from the Pastor

From the Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

It is with immense joy and heartfelt gratitude that I announce the launch of our parish capital campaign in conjunction with the Archdiocese’s Called to Renew effort. This campaign will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese, including St. Elizabeth of Hungary.

Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $555,000, of which 50 percent will remain at our parish. We will also retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal. In other words, if our campaign is successful, we will receive a minimum of $277,500 to address our own needs, such as illuminating the parish and improving our parking lot. You will find more details about how we plan to use these funds on the following page.

As your pastor, I invite you to take a moment in prayer to discern how you can best support this campaign. I also encourage you to consider making a pledge over a five-year period, which will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal. This is a wonderful parish, and I am amazed at how our community always works together to meet needs that arise. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success.

We entrust this campaign to the intercession of our Blessed Mother.

Thank you in advance for your faithful support.

Peace in Christ,

Rev. Modesto L. Perez

Parish Needs

Stained Glass Windows

The stained glass windows in the church allow sunlight to beautifully illuminate our worship space. Depending on the time of day, the effect is quite remarkable. Repairing the stained glass windows will return them to their original splendor.

Parking Lot

Our parking lot’s cracks, bumps, and unevenness have only worsened with time. Repaving and resurfacing the parking lot will provide a better first impression of our church grounds.

A Bold Plan of Renewal

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.
