		Building & Planning

		The St. Charles Borromeo Building and Planning Committee is comprised of approximately twenty-five parishioners plus Fr. Hunke. The members do not serve set terms and hold meetings on an as-needed basis to manage specific duties such as the planning, design and construction of facilities that serve the spiritual and physical needs of St. Charles Borromeo Parish.

		It is anticipated that once parish-owned facilities are constructed, the B&P Committee will hold regular meetings to assist in management of building and grounds as well as on-going master plan needs.

		The B&P Committee serves at the direction of the Parish Pastoral Council and is responsible for providing information and recommendations to the PPC related to parish facilities as well as carry out PPC directives related to facilities. The B&P Committee is also responsible for oversight of contracts related to parish facilities.
