St. Madeleine Sophie intends to accomplish the following project with its parish share:

UPDATE HVAC SYSTEM – AIR CONDITIONING FOR THE CHURCH: $100,000With our parish share, St. Madeleine Sophie plans to upgrade the HVAC system in the church. The current system is 50 years old and in dire need of updating. For years, parishioners have longed for a new HVAC system, especially on those hot summer days when the church gets warm during Mass and other activities. A new HVAC system will include air ventilation and sun filtering in the church, allowing our parishioners to better focus on the liturgy.

In addition to caring for our senior priests and women religious sisters, the Called to Serve as Christ campaign allows us to be good stewards of parish resources and care for our worship space in an effort to provide dignified worship.

“Our Vatican II tradition values the leadership and service of the entire community flowing from our common baptism and our diverse spiritual

gifts. I am grateful for the numerous Catholic priests and religious women who have affected my Catholic formation and my desire to serve the Church as a priest today. This Called to Serve as Christ campaign sets an important

and innovative goal to provide assistance to retired priests and religious women who have served the people of God in so many different ministries.

Thank you for supporting this noble purpose. May God continue to bless our vision to serve the many ministries of our parish and Archdiocese.”

– Fr. Don Perea, Parish Priest

“St. Madeleine Sophie Parish

was formed 50 years ago under the patronage of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. We are shaped by her vision of making God’s love visible in the heart of the world

through service and we embrace our diversity as a gift to enable a deeper understanding that we

are one body in Christ.

“The Called to Serve as Christ campaign will help us continue this mission of caring for others

by ensuring those who have given much in service to the

Church, our retired priests and women religious, receive the support they deserve and the

honor they are due.

“Our parish share of this campaign will help us live out the call to be good stewards of our parish facilities and maintenance needs. We are

looking forward to the next 50 years with the confidence that we will have done all we can to ensure proper care for our

beautiful church.”
