To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
As mentioned above, the roof of the Church/Hall/Elementary Building has exceeded its useful life. As a result, we always have problems with leaks every rainy season. And last January, the church flooded due to heavy rains. Now we really need to address these types of problems, along with the Parish Hall roof and the Elementary Building. There are many patches at the top part of the room and the main building, and sometimes, the ceiling falls to the floor. To prevent major damages, we will repair the roof of the church, the primary structure and the parish hall.
Depending on the time of year, the temperature in the church can be uncomfortable. Our church was built when indoor cooling and heating were not typical. We will install a new HVAC system to help moderate the temperature in the Church to make our worship experience more comfortable.
Due to having older buildings, we also experience a lot of problems with our drainage system. To minimize the problems, as well as the expenses in repairing the drainage, we will change the drainage system in the whole area.
As required, we must follow governmental laws and regulations regarding accommodation of persons with disabilities in our restroom and access to the main office. Therefore, we will provide a ramp for members of our disabled community.
To accommodate our rapidly growing groups and ministries, including CCD students, we need to transform our huge four-room structure into a 6-room area. It would become four smaller rooms and two larger rooms. For larger rooms, we will use a movable divider for more flexibility. Some groups are not significant enough to occupy a vast space like the one we currently have. Once again, we need to renovate the interior side of the rooms, especially the walls.
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.
