God is the ultimate architect of the Church, both the physical building and the community of believers!

The St. Catherine of Siena-St. Lucy and St. Giles Parish Facilities Committee is responsible for maintaining the church buildings, parish offices, rectories, schools and all grounds, and related equipment in good condition and ensuring they are used safely and efficiently. They also oversee the planning, budgeting, and execution of any necessary repairs, renovations, or new construction projects.

The committee is comprised of architects, engineers, a maintenance supervisor and others who have experience in the areas of HVAC, electricity, plumbing, and other commercial management skills. A staff member of the school also serves as an integral member of the committee.

Facility management coordination and setup involves a multi-faceted approach, focusing on people, processes, and technology to ensure the functionality, safety, and efficiency of a facility. Some of the main areas of coordination encompass:

• The Operations Director convenes committee meetings, minimally six times a year.
• The Pastor attends the meetings when he is available.
• The Operations Director coordinates all projects with the local maintenance teams.
• The Operations Director works closely with the office of Facilities and Construction of the Archdiocese on obtaining estimates and proposals for any major work done by contractors.
• The Operations Director works in close coordination with the Pastor, Maintenance Supervisor, Business Manager and the Finance Committee to review larger expenditures.
