Even though the Capital Campaign is not over, the Building Committee is already hard at work! Ladies and gentlemen, meet your building committee!
Each of the members brings a unique set of gifts to the process. Doug Forstrom has a wealth of experience in construction and building materials. Ana Iltis is a masterful organizer, as well as a careful thinker and decision-maker. Daniel Kowalcheck adds architectural training and experience and woodworking expertise. Father Christopher Foley brings his spiritual and theological insights and his ability to unify and motivate. Karen Brudnak-Slate offers her eye for value. Chairperson Nikki Johnson will put her leadership skills to work to build consensus at every step, and will represent the Building Committee as part of the Steering Committee established by the Parish Council. We expect that the Building Committee membership will change as the work proceeds and new perspectives and skill sets are needed.
We will continue to turn to the Parish Council for guidance and to the parish at large for insight as we embark on this journey. We ask for your support and your prayers.
