CALLED TO RENEW - now is the time!
-
- a historic, five-year pledge campaign to strengthen parishes, families, and communities through unity and action; together we commit to renewing what is important, our faith so we can pass it on to those who we love.
To address the future of the Church, we have launched the Called to Renew campaign along with every parish in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. St. Martin of Tour's services and ministry programs serve hundreds, if not thousands of people each year, including you. However, with our ongoing growth comes the need to elevate and maintain our parish. Our campaign goal is $1,135,000 of which 50% will go directly to our parish needs, the other 50% will be used to Strengthen our Parishes, Support Priestly Vocations, Serving the Vulnerable, and Investing in the Faith of Future Generations. Additionally, we will receive 100% of all funds collected over goal. We will use our share of the funds to renew and update our Parish Center. Called to Renew will enable SMT to complete the vision set forth by past generations, while ensuring our Church's presence in the lives of our future generations. Your prayers, generosity, and sacrifice will ensure our success.

Called to Renew Campaign Prayer
God of love and God of life,
We thank You for your blessings.
Especially the gift of life and the gift of faith.
Father, give us wisdom and courage
and guide us as we call Your family
here in Los Angeles to renewal.
Help us to raise up a new generation of
missionary disciples to proclaim the good news
of Your mercy and to serve our
brothers and sisters in need.
Fill us with Your Spirit,
that we might call Your sons and daughters
to be priests and deacons and consecrated religious
to dedicate their lives to You;
that we might call Your Church to bring
healing to the sick and love to the poor and those in prison;
that we might call our young people
to seek Your beautiful plan for their lives.
Father, give us all new excitement to follow Jesus
and to serve You with all our hearts and all our strength.
Increase our faith and give us confidence
to offer You our gifts, our talents and our treasure —
that we might find our true treasure in heaven with You.
Trusting in the tender love of our Blessed Mother,
Queen of the Angels,
we ask all this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
