St. Cecilia Catholic Church

From the Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

It is with immense joy and heartfelt gratitude that I announce the launch of our parish capital campaign in conjunction with the Archdiocese’s Called to Renew
effort. This campaign will provide much the needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese, including St. Cecilia.

Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our parish’s goal is $555,000. Fifty percent of all funds we raise up to goal will stay with our parish, and if we go over goal, 100 percent of the funds we collect will remain at St. Cecilia. That means we will keep $277,500 to address our own needs if we work together to meet our goal.

St. Cecilia has a rich history of service in Los Angeles. Called to Renew will allow us to continue to be a vital presence in our community. You will find details about how we plan to use our share of campaign funds on the following page.

As your pastor, I invite you to take a moment in prayer to discern how best you can support this campaign. I also encourage you to consider making a pledge for a five-year period. This will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal.

This is a wonderful parish and faith community, and I feel very fortunate to be your pastor. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a
success.

We entrust this campaign to the intercessions of Our Blessed Mother and our patroness, St. Cecilia.

Thank you in advance for your faithful support.

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Roman Azarte
