Administration Report Edwin A. Sevillano, MBA 2020 will be recorded in history as the year COVID‐19 changed the world as we know it. The mission of the Church remains consistently the same through history and in difficult mes like this our faith provides a strong balsam of hope. Work in our parish con nued in the midst of the pandemic and thanks to the support of our parishioners great things were accomplished while other areas will need our a en on in the months and years to follow. In the following lines we highlight some of what was accomplished this past Fiscal Year 07/2019 – 06/2020 in the areas and ministries under my oversight. FACILITIES: Tree reloca on: In the Fall we worked in beau fying our campus by transplan ng and rearranging trees. Some of them had been planted to close to each other and were not developing properly. Others had died leaving openings. At the same me planter boxes in the center of the parking spaces were removed to make snow removal easier. Tree lines are now consistent in the field along route 34 and next to the driveway to route 34. A new pine tree for “Light up a Memory” has also been planted. More trees will need to be relocated and planted in the coming years as our budget allows. Chapel renova on: During Lent our daily mass chapel func ons in Parish Hall which allowed us to do some necessary renova ons to Christ’s Chapel in the Spiritual Center. The walls were covered with insula on and sheet rock to manage be er our climate control system. The square‐track light fixture was replaced with a round one with LED dimmable lights which makes the space within the octagonal dome more harmonious. The wooden dome was stained with a lighter color to allow light reflec on. The sacristy was updated with new cabinets, sink and lights. While the work has finished the chapel is s ll not being used as such as the space is not in compliance for proper social distancing of those a ending daily mass. In the mean me the space is being used as a mee ng room as it allows sufficient social distancing. HVAC equipment upgrades: We con nued upgrading our Carrier HVAC roo op units in the Spiritual Center which we started last year. Economizers have been installed in the chapel, theatre and office & classroom units which allow fresh air intake and make the equipment run more efficiently. This is especially crucial now to ven late our rooms for sanitary reasons. Office ceiling les and light fixtures upgrade: While our offices were closed to the public we had the opportunity to do some work indoors. We replaced the original ceiling les which had been installed in the 1980s and had water stains and mold, repainted the grid white and upgraded the fluorescent light fixtures with new LED fixtures which provide be er ligh ng, require less maintenance, and are more energy efficient. As we had done in prior years with Madonna Hall and the Theatre, this me we upgraded the offices, mee ngs rooms and hallways in the Spiritual Center.
