St. John Baptist De La Salle

From the Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

In 1953, when a handful of families sacrificed to establish St. John Baptist de la Salle Parish, they also blessed us with a legacy to build upon and celebrate.

Through God’s grace, we have grown from a small faith community into a welcoming parish of 4,100 families. Together, we have become a vibrant, active, and dynamic place for people of all ages to grow in their faith, serve others, and share the Good News as they connect with Christ, one another, and those in need.

We are now launching the Called to Renew campaign alongside every parish in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and ask God to bless this ambitious effort. Our campaign will allow us to address the needs of parishioners and St. John Baptist de la Salle, ensuring future generations may continue to gather, worship, and create lasting friendships.

The goal for our campaign is $1,190,000, of which 50 percent will remain at our parish to address the needs detailed on the following page. We will also retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal.

I am asking you, and every member of our parish, to make a gift from the heart. In turn, I, as your pastor and fellow parishioner, will also make a sacrificial pledge.

Before you determine your pledge, please prayerfully consider the generosity God has shown you, and the importance of the mission we have been given at St. John Baptist de la Salle.

Thank you in advance for your faithful support.

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Ramon Valera
