California Parish Striving to Participate in Community Revitalization Project

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, in the Newhall district of Santa Clarita, CA, is working on a renovation project designed to be part of an initiative to help redevelop its neighborhood. This “On the Way” project, which involves the demolition of six homes, will result, upon completion, in a new pastoral center, a new church, a new rectory, and a new parish hall. It is anticipated to cost approximately $20 million.

Santa Clarita is located in Los Angeles County. The parish has over seven thousand registered families.
