From the Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

How blessed we are to have maintained a vibrant and nurturing community of faith and worship, where all are welcome and can experience God’s love, for 112 years. In our spiritual home, so many have been strengthened in the call we receive at Baptism to be and to build up the Body of Christ.

This ongoing call is so vital and necessary for the future of our Church. We are grateful to those who came before us for building up the Archdiocese of Los Angeles into the largest diocese in the United States. We now look toward, and plan for, a future where all can continue to experience the joy of our faith through the sacramental life of the Church.

I am pleased to inform you that our parish is participating in Called to Renew. This capital campaign invites all 5 million of us in the Archdiocese to fully consider God’s many blessings in our lives and to come together as one family to build up our Church for the future.

Each parish has been assigned a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $740,000, of which $370,000 will remain at our parish for a much-needed and long overdue remodel of our parish center. Additionally, we will retain 100 percent of the funds we collect over our goal.

To reach our goal, I am asking you to prayerfully consider a five-year pledge to the campaign, so our parish and the Church may remain vibrant, healthy, and relevant in people’s lives for many years to come. With grateful hearts, may each of us continue to build up the Body of Christ.

Peace in Christ,

Rev. John Collins
