A CAMPAIGN UPDATE -
November 2009
We continue to raise funds for our new Church through the many
generous pledges of our parishioners. In addition to these
pledges, various groups help raise funds through special
events. Back in August our Filipino community had a Luau Dinner
Dance with the proceeds going to our building project and they
were able to donate $3,634 to our campaign. Your participation
in such special events greatly benefits our campaign. The next
special event will be sponsored by the Ministry to Young Adults
(MYA) and is a New Year’s celebration at the Knight’s of
Columbus Hall. This event is for all adults and is a safe
environment to ring in the New Year. Please make plans to share
in this celebration and fund raising effort. More details in
the coming weeks. |

A CAMPAIGN UPDATE - March 2009
The architect hired by Sacred Heart Church to
assist in our building plans is Mr. Daniel White. Dan White is
a member of St. John Vianney Church in Hacienda Heights, CA. He
is married and has three children. At the parish Dan is
involved in youth ministry, liturgy and the parish festival.
Dan also volunteers for the Archdiocese as a member of the
Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission, Office of Worships
Liturgical Design Review Committee, and as a Master of
Ceremonies as the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Dan also
gives lectures and classes in various liturgical subjects for
the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the dioceses of Orange, San
Bernardino and San Diego.
Dan began his architecture apprenticeship in 1985 after
graduating from Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in Architecture.
Working for Armando Ruiz and Associates for 15 years, Dan
developed a love and reputation for the design of churches and
parish related buildings. This is also where his interests in
Liturgical Consultation and Design were fostered and grew. Dan
developed a reputation specializing in Master Planning for
religious communities.
In the year 2000 Dan decided to begin his own Architecture
practice. Two weeks after opening the doors of Daniel D. White
– Architects, the first commission was received – the design of
a Master Plan for St. Euphrasia Church in Granada Hills, CA.
Since that time Daniel D. White – Architects has worked on more
than 120 projects for parishes and individuals in Southern
California. Project types include Master Planning,
Architecture, Liturgical Consultation, and Liturgical Design of
new and renovated Churches, Halls, Parish Centers, Rectories,
School and Gymnasiums.
We are very fortunate to have Dan working as our Parish Building
Architect. |

December 2008
As Our Faith, Our Family and Our Future
moves forward, let me give you this important update. Please
pass on this information, either verbally or written, to others
who might inquire about our campaign. As your pastor it is my
honor to move toward building a new church with all of you.
Like many of you, I have made a five year pledge to this
important and historic project. As we continue to raise the
necessary funds to build, here is where we stand. As of
December 31, 2008 we were just beyond $1.3 million in cash
received since our pledge campaign began. This does not include
the monies in the building fund raised while Fr. John was here,
approximately $1 million, which was to help acquire the property
from the city.
Along with raising money to build, another
important piece in moving forward is acquiring the property. In
2004 we had a communication from the city concerning the cost of
the property (this property is from Beech to Cedar and from
Kettering to Jackman, part of which we already own). We are
nearing completing this land acquisition. In December I met
with Mayor R. Rex Parris and he is anxious to move this
forward. I believe in the next few months we should have the
land.
Once we acquire the property we will have a
significant Mass on our new property, the future site of the new
Church. This will be a huge outdoor Mass, so many factors will
be considered when choosing the date and time. After this we
will began the preparation of this property for our new Church
and parking area. It will be at this time when several hall
meetings will take place to educate you on Church architect and
to elicit input from you about the new Church.
These are exciting times and I thank all of those
who have made pledges, all who were part of the Campaign
Committee and those who continue to work on Our Faith, Our
Family, Our Future.
Blessings to
you all,
Fr. Tom |
