Our Parish Goal
$1,200,000
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.
Our Parish Receives
$770,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
O’Malley Hall serves as a widely used space to gather socially in fellowship, celebration, ministry, and spiritual learning. It is the location where our students perform theater, hold music and chorale and dance events, the school hosts student award receptions and graduation breakfast, our varied ministries hold meetings and fund-raising events, and on occasion can be used for receptions. Most recently, our first onsite, adult retreat was successfully held in the Hall.
O’Malley Hall is key to growing our faithful parish and school community while enhancing our individual spiritual awareness and fellowship.
Monies raised through Called to Renew will specifically fund:
*Replacement of the original tables and chairs from O’Malley Hall’s opening in 1970 with lightweight tables and upholstered chairs to provide a more comfortable place for parish events.
*Cosmetic attention to ceiling and flooring and new paint to bring back the beauty and luster to our parish hall.
*Revitalization of the stage with new paint, a refurbished well-worn stage floor and curtain.
*Improved audio and visual experience with higher technology equipment including new ceiling projector and screen which will allow for clear visuals and eliminate the hearing difficulty sometimes experienced.
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.
