ARCHDIOCESE GIVING CAMPAIGNS

TOGETHER IN MISSION 2023 As one Catholic community of faith, let's be rooted in prayer and reflect how we can continue to help our struggling parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles well into the future. Give now at the following link https://timgive.org/

CALLED TO RENEW The primary goals of the campaign are to help parishes fulfill their mission to serve others and to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Fifty percent of every dollar raised at each parish will be returned to the parish for its own needs. Once the goal is reached, the parish will receive 100% of each dollar collected above goal. This is a tremendous opportunity for parishes to expand and strengthen their ministries and programs. Parishes will also receive additional funds for their respective deferred maintenance needs.
