Father Ian Hagan noted on the weekend of October 8-9 that the church will pay $250,000 for a new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. If that is the price, some ask, why does the Legacy Project cost $3.3 million? The HVAC unit, it turns out, is only one part of a more extensive renovation, which includes the construction of a gathering plaza and play area. The new HVAC unit must be located on the roof, according to city regulations, and the roof must be strengthened to accommodate it. In addition to structural improvements, the HVAC requires installation and new duct work. $250,000 will pay for the unit itself, not for everything that goes with it.
We are happy to announce that the Angel Trees will go up this weekend to help local children in need this Christmas! Each year we brighten the holidays for local families and help bright their children's Christmas! Thank you to all our past supporters, if you have questions contact the parish office.
Phase I of the Legacy Project amazed St. Julie’s parishioners in 2012. Gone were the squared-off entryways, the humming light fixtures, and the cranberry carpet. In their place were arched columns, wrought-iron candelabras, and floor tiles with indigo accents. A formerly utilitarian sanctuary now resembled a California mission. Phase II of the Legacy Project will do for the exterior what Phase I did for the interior. A large outdoor gathering place, an area for children, as well as new paint, new stucco, and a new roof, will announce that St. Julie’s is a spiritual home to Newbury Park Catholics. Beauty makes it easier to pray. Renovating the church’s outside will reflect faith on the inside.

Los Robles Health System is proud to host Crush the Crisis Opioid Take Back Day to align with the DEA's National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Crush the Crisis events aim to educate our communities on the risk of opioid misuse, while partnering with local law enforcement to provide a safe and anonymous way to dispose of medications that may be left over from previous procedures or other medical visits. Opioid misuse is a national crisis and in many cases, opioid overdoses are the result of individuals accessing and misusing unused prescription opioids from the homes of family and friends.
