Our community is excited to participate alongside all parishes, missions and Catholic centers in the Archdiocese to strengthen and renew our Church for the future. Please continue reading to learn how this campaign will benefit us.
It is with heartfelt gratitude and joy that I announce the launch of St. Thomas More Catholic Community’s campaign in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Called to Renew effort. This campaign will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout the Archdiocese, including ours.
All parishes received goals for the campaign. Our goal is $400,000. Fifty percent (50%) of the goal-funds raised will remain at St. Thomas More. We also keep 100% of funds we collect over our goal. If our campaign is successful, we will have $200,000 or more for our Catholic Community’s needs!
The St. Thomas More Catholic Community has a rich history of service in Alhambra. The Called to Renew campaign will allow us to continue to be a vital presence in our community. On the following pages, you will find details about how we plan to use our share of the campaign funds.
To reach our goal, I invite you to reflect on how you can best support this campaign and prayerfully consider a five-year pledge. The St. Thomas More parish is wonderful! I am fortunate and honored to be your pastor. I know you will do what you can to make this Called to Renew campaign a success.
We entrust this campaign to the intercessions of our Blessed Mother and our patron, St. Thomas More.
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.
Our Parish Receives
$200,000
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Parish Needs
Wheelchair Ramps
The liturgy is the source and summit of our faith, and all of our parishioners
should have accessibility to the Lord’s table. Installing three new wheelchair
ramps at the front and on both sides of the church will ensure our parish is
accommodating to all of Christ’s followers.
Parish Hall
Our parish hall was last renovated years ago, and is now showing its age.
Installing new flooring, ceiling, and lighting will improve the building for the
many occasions when our parish family gathers to grow in faith and community.
A Bold Plan of Renewal
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.
