 BACKGROUND
In 2004, the Facilities Committee conducted a survey of all parish and school families to seek input about potential improvements that would enhance ministry and education as well as prepare St. Catherine Parish and School for the future. The results overwhelmingly favored major changes with a priority to improve accessibility, food service, athletic facilities and to create a large gathering space. After careful deliberation, the Facilities Committee developed a comprehensive campus
master plan that focuses on accessible, suitable facilities to house the diverse ministries,
educational activities, sporting events and social functions that take place at St. Catherine.
