PARISH LIFE CENTER
The parish has the opportunity to purchase the Presentation Sisters’ beautiful convent! We hope to convert the property into a much needed Parish Life Center which will greatly help us better serve our children, youth, parish and community at large.
With the purchasing price of 1.5 million dollars, Saint Irenaeus can take over the title of the property, which is currently under the ownership of the Diocese of Orange. With the generous support of some parishioners, the parish has already raised $305,000 for this campaign. It's a great start, but we still have a long way to go. Please consider giving to the Parish Life Center Campaign so that we can make use of this wonderful opportunity.
Enrollment for
the 2026-2027

year is open!
