Building Committee Meeting Recap

Eight members of the committee met on April 25, 2022, along with Kevin Broderick and his assistant. The meeting highlights are:

1. Kevin Broderick’s firm, Broderick Architects, was selected as the architect for this project. Awaiting a contract with the Archdiocese to finalize the agreement.
2. Reviewed the comprehensive statement of needs and wishes for the new School and Faith Formation center prepared by Louie Tran, chair of Building Committee.
3. Kevin asked for all pertinent documents from the committee, and he will return with a beginning plan for the School/Faith Formation building.
4. Questions were raised regarding cost of the project, when will it be completed, how will it be funded. These questions will be addressed once the committee receives the draft of the building plan.

Selecting the architect was a significant step forward as the committee diligently works on this building project.
