Removing the carpeting in the sanctuary to reveal the terrazzo flooring will eliminate the visual break from the assembly to the altar. Repairing and restoring our historic pipe organ, which was originally installed at Hollywood’s Grauman’s Theater in the 1920s and ‘30s and gifted to our community in 1958, will again fill our worship environment with the musical majesty the renowned Wurlitzer pipe organ can provide.
Finbar School was voted Burbank’s best private school again in 2018. Updating our school campus with an expansive, modern entrance will befit the school’s grand tradition of providing an impactful and transformational Catholic education experience while enhancing campus security and providing much-needed meeting space. We will also update all of the restrooms while making other necssary infrastructure improvements.
Creating a fine arts center in the Holy Spirit Center with music and media arts will provide a gathering place where children and adults can experience and explore all the humanities have to offer. We will also equip the facility with the resources to webcast our popular and powerful Seeker Sessions, along with other programming, to audiences around the world.
Among the most impactful improvements to our community has been the opening of our adoration chapel in the Faith Center, which is now the center for faith formation for elementary through high school students. Expanding the adoration chapel to include an outdoor meditation garden for prayer and small group sessions will support the ongoing spiritual development of our faith community.
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.
