Our Parish Receives
$65,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
One of our parish’s greatest needs is additional meeting space. The church has traditionally served as the primary gathering space for communities. We will convert the garage into two new meeting rooms to provide more space to gather together.
During the celebration of the Mass, it is often difficult to hear the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist due to the inferior quality of our sound system. A new sound system will improve the quality of sound during Mass and will include updates to the microphones on the altar and in the music area.
Depending on the time of year, the temperature in the church can be unbearable. Santa Teresita has decided to move forward with a new air conditioning system to ensure our comfort in the pews, especially during the increasingly hotter summers. A new HVAC system will moderate the temperature in the church with greater efficiency and make our worship experience more comfortable.
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.
