parish annual report 2016-17

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I am fortunate to begin my fourth year as Pastor here at

Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano. From

the beginning, my focus has been to cultivate one Parish.

We are a diverse and eventful campus filled with all the

activities of our Parish, School and Historic Mission. We

come together from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

What binds us is our faith and devotion to Christ. We are

One in focus and community.

The following pages are a picture of our Parish activities

for the past year. We are blessed to have the support of so

many committed families. Your generous donations made

it possible for us to remodel the confessionals, repair the

ailing motors for the bells, reach our Pastoral Services

Appeal goal, launch a new website, and open a new room in

the Bell Tower for weddings and meetings.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who gave of their time,

talent and treasure during the past year. Your charitable

gifts and devotion have contributed to the growth of our

community. Thank you!

Reverend Monsignor J. Michael McKiernan

I hope you will spend a moment to take in the breadth

of ministries and groups that contribute to the vibrant

faith community at Mission Basilica San Juan

Capistrano and Mission Basilica School. We

are blessed to have ministry support of well over five hundred

people in the form of priests, staff, teachers, catechists,

core team leaders, coordinators, facilitators, liturgical

ministers and volunteers who touch and transform all of us

in some way. Thank you for your engagement and active

participation in evangelizing the Gospel not only here, but

also for the larger community.

Thank you for the financial support that helps sustain

our ministries and facilities. We strive each day to be

accountable to God and each year in our annual report to

provide transparency to you.

The Stewardship team’s focus for the next year is to

encourage a culture of hospitality that creates a sense of

welcome to all who call this holy place home and all who

visit. May the light of Christ shine in and through each of us.
