To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Our sound systems are outdated, with the system in the hall dating back to its construction in 1972. Many parishioners report difficulty hearing during Mass, events, and meetings. Installing new sound systems in the church and the hall will ensure all able to participate fully in our liturgies and gatherings. We will also install a projector and retractable screen in the hall for the presentation of visual materials.
Our parish lacks an outdoor space for gathering after Mass and during events. Installing a kiosk with a covered pavilion, semi-permanent outdoor seating, and lighting will allow us to have a welcoming space for use during the day and evening hours, in all types of weather.
After many years of use, the seating in our church is showing signs of wear and tear. Refurbishing the pews and kneelers and replacing the padding on the chairs will make our worship more comfortable.
Installed in 1973, the hall’s kitchen no longer accommodates the needs of our parish. Renovating the kitchen with a more functional layout and new appliances will bring it up to code and allow us to offer greater hospitality for years to come.
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.
