Our Parish Receives

To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Our church is in need of multiple enhancements. Upgrading the interior lighting will allow us to see one another and our worship space better, and updating the sound systems will ensure we are able to hear the Word of God. Refurbishing our pews, including recovering the fabric, repairing the kneelers, and refinishing the wood, will give them new life after 20 years of use. Now that we have upgraded our HVAC controls, installing new HVAC units will better moderate the temperature in the church. Enhancing our excellent music ministry with new instruments, including an electronic organ, will further enrich our worship experience.
While our buildings are relatively new, they require ongoing maintenance. Proceeds from the campaign will ensure we can make future repairs in a timely fashion and maintain the beauty of our welcoming campus. Among the anticipated repairs are repainting the interior of all buildings, replacing the floor coverings, replacing and maintaining our roofs, and resurfacing our parking lots.
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.
