When the Called to Renew campaign was first launched in 2018, many took it simply as a way to raise funds for capital projects across the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Six years later, several such projects have come to completion: new wheelchair ramps at St. Thomas More Church in Alhambra, a modern PA system at St. Anastasia Church in Westchester, waterproofing against flooding at Holy Angels Church in Arcadia — among others.
Lesser known, however, is the other side of the capital campaign: grants meant to directly help ministries reach hearts and souls inside — and outside — those buildings.
