Our community is excited to participate alongside all parishes, missions and Catholic centers in the Archdiocese to strengthen and renew our Church for the future. Please continue reading to learn how this campaign will benefit us.
It is with great enthusiasm and gratitude that I write to announce the launch of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ capital campaign in our parish. Called to Renew will provide necessary funds for parishes across the Archdiocese, including St. Malachy.
Each parish has a set goal for the campaign. Our goal is $275,000, which will be collected over the course of five years. Fifty percent of these funds will remain in our parish, and if we exceed our goal, every additional dollar will be returned to us. In other words, we will receive a minimum of $137,500 if we are successful.
Although we have made improvements to our parish, there is still much to be done. St. Malachy has a great tradition of service in Los Angeles. Called to Renew will allow us to expand our service in the community.
Details regarding our plans for our share of the funds we collect are on the following page. Please take time to prayerfully discern how you can best help us in this campaign. I also invite you to make a pledge payable over the course of five years.
This is a marvelous community of faith, and I encourage you to continue on the path that leads us to God and do everything possible to ensure the success of our Called to Renew campaign. Let us place our parish in God’s hands, and we shall see His infinite goodness throughout this effort.
We ask for the intercessions of our Blessed Mother Mary and our patron, St. Malachy, to reach our objectives as a community.
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.

Parish Needs
Parish Hall Renovation
The course of time and the lack of maintenance are beginning to show in our parish hall, which makes us see the need for its integral renovation, so that it looks more welcoming to the community.
Parish Kitchen
The continuous use of this space demands a total remodeling of the kitchen so that it looks clean and modern.
Parish Rooms
A lack of rooms dedicated to the parish requires group meetings and other activities to take place in school classrooms. Constructing parish rooms will provide greater independence to the school and parish.
Painting
Repainting the church, school, rectory, offices, and kindergarten will make our parish campus shine again.
Church Roof
Touching up the church roof will eliminate its stained and dry appearance.
A Bold Plan of Renewal
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.
