Our Parish Receives
$285,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Resurfacing the parking lot will create a better first impression of our campus and add twenty years to the parking lot lifetime.
Beauty is essential to our liturgy. Repositioning the baptismal font and updating the sanctuary’s confessional and pulpit will enhance our worship space. We will also install additional air conditioning and heating for the church and the new eucharistic adoration chapel.
Our parish center and hall are showing their age. Refurbishing the upstairs of the parish center and repairing its roof, and remodeling the parish hall restrooms, will enhance our ministries and parish events.
Installing a fountain on the patio and improving the parish grounds with new wrought iron fence, gates, and exterior lighting will create a more welcoming and safer environment.
Eucharistic adoration is a blessing for our whole community. Converting the former baptistery into a chapel with a secure, outside entrance and adjoining restroom will allow for prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament at any time of the day. Installing a new energy-efficient HVAC system will help moderate the temperature and improve our worship experience.
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.
