St. Rose of Lima

From the Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

Two years ago, together with every parish in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, St. Rose of Lima Parish started the Called to Renew Campaign to assist our parish and other parishes and ministries throughout the Archdiocese. Sadly, our campaign was cut short because of the Covid pandemic. 

Today I am happy to announce that we are re-launching Called to Renew this year at St. Rose of Lima Parish. This campaign will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, including ours, as well as strengthen important ministries and programs that affect us all.

Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our goal is $1,045,000, of which 50% will remain at our parish—which would total $522,500. We also will keep 100% of the funds we collect over our parish campaign goal. 

St. Rose of Lima Parish has a rich history in Simi Valley. Called to Renew will ensure that we will continue to be a vital presence in our community. Details about how we will use our share of campaign funds are on the following page.

Please take a moment to prayerfully discern how you can generously support this campaign. I also encourage you to consider making a five-year pledge, which will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal. 

This is a wonderful parish, and I am proud of how our community of faith has always worked together to meet needs that arise. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success.

We entrust our Called to Renew Campaign to the intercessions of our Blessed Mother and our patron, St. Rose of Lima. Thank you in advance for your faithful support and may God bless you.

Peace in Christ,

Rev. Joseph Shea
