To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The church roof has exceeded its life expectancy and often leaks during the rainy season. Repairing or replacing the roof will prevent future damage to the interior of the church. We will also replace the thermostat for the air conditioning system, which is malfunctioning.
Pope Francis has called on us “to care for the earth so that it may continue, as God willed, to be a source of life for the entire human family.” Installing solar panels on top of a section of our parking lot will provide shade as well as reduce electrical costs and our impact on the environment.
St. Emydius School is an important ministry of our parish but the building is in great need of repair, from the restrooms to the roof. Completely renovating the restrooms, including installing new fixtures, will make them accessible for both children and adults, and either repairing or replacing the roof will ensure the classrooms remain dry during the rainy season. Upgrading the windows, painting the interior, and adding a new computer lab will elevate our school for years to come.
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.
