Our Parish Receives
$422,500
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
The roofs on the lower and upper school buildings are past their useful life expectancy. We need to replace the entire roof on both buildings.
The school restrooms are original to the building. We need to renovate the restrooms by installing more energy-efficient, and water-saving fixtures.
During the pandemic, we painted the exterior of the church, now we need to paint the interior. We will also update the sound system, replace the worn and loose carpeting and update the roof and lighting in the church.
The flooring in the Parish Hall is beginning to show its age. We will replace the flooring in this much used community space. It is also time to replace the roof.
Several years ago, we installed security cameras in the school. It proved to be a wise investment. We would like to expand the security cameras throughout the campus. In addition, we will convert the entire campus to a key card entry system. This will allow us to issue one-day cards for ministry meetings. We also need to purchase fire-proof cabinets to secure sensitive records.
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.
