To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The parking lot is the first thing people see when they arrive at the church. It leaves a lot to be desired. We will use a part of our Called to Renew funds to fill in the potholes and cracks/completely resurface the parking lot. This will create a more welcoming and safer environment. We will also establish the outdoor Stations of the Cross on the side.
We strive to provide learning opportunities for our children of cultural and linguistic heritage, which we had before within our formation programs and stopped. Therefore, we will invest a portion of our funds in reopening the Hangul classes, providing enhanced faith and cultural formation for our new generation and families to strengthen their encounter with Christ.
Beauty is an integral and essential part of our Catholic liturgy. The stained-glass windows in the church illuminate our worship space by allowing the beauty of sunlight to come inside. Depending on the time of day, the effect of the sunlight can be remarkable. We had planned to set stained glass in windows during construction, but we could not complete our plan, installing just the frames for stained glass instead. Therefore, it is time for us to provide beauty and luster to our church with new stained-glass windows.
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.
