To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
We will improve our worship experience by bringing our pews and kneelers into the 21st century, along with the vinyl tiles underneath the pews. We will also look to overhaul our sound system and the HVAC system to better heat and cool the church.
Returning the Tabernacle to its original position behind the altar will refocus our attention on the Eucharist as the center of our faith. The Tabernacle will be moved from its current location to a prominent and central position on the altar with a specific nod to the cost considerations raised by parishioners.
We consider the school to be new, but our last major building investment was 15 years ago. The linoleum flooring, repaving the parking lot, and painting the interior of the school are past due. We will also find a better storage solution to the container units in the parking lot.
A welcoming entrance on Hill Avenue with engaging indoor and outdoor space will help our efforts to reconnect our young adults to their faith and help our evangelization and outreach efforts. We have scaled back the initial scope to focus on exterior curb appeal
The Newman Center transformation shows that we can modify our existing buildings to breathe new life into tired spaces. We will focus on the second story with a goal of creating flexible, modern, multi-use meeting space to meet the growing needs of various parish ministries today and into the future.
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.
