OUr Community and the world
Service to others and advancing the work of the Episcopal Church are traditions for our parish, whether it’s support for community organizations or assisting wider Christian ministries that educate, help, and heal.
Suubi CHRISTIAN School - bUKEKA, Uganda
We are longtime supporters of the Suubi School in Bukeka, Uganda – a Christian school whose founders educate the poorest students in the region. Through sales of jewelry and baskets made by the women of Bukeka, our parish raises funds for the purchase of books and learning materials for the school. In 2019, years of book collection and planning by the parish resulted in launch of a 13,000-book library that now serves students and teachers throughout the district. Since then, the parish has continued to support the school’s evolving needs.
UNITED THANK OFFERING (UTO)
The United Thank Offering funds innovative ministries and programs within the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion, and since its founding in 1889, the organization has made grants of more than $142M to various church initiatives. In recent years, UTO funded creation of a new Anglican Pilgrim Centre at Santiago de Compostela in Spain, provided support for migration and asylum ministries, and made grants for the Diocese of Jerusalem.
EPISCOPAL church Mission & ministry
Our parish episodically supports initiatives of the Diocese of Los Angeles. Theses have included the Bishop’s Dinner, which raises funds for mission congregations and mission centers; the Bishop’s Concert, which enables wider diocesan ministries; and ongoing seminarian funding, which supports ministry vocations within our diocese.
