In June 2014, the Garden and Maintenance Committee completed an “Inventory and Estimate of 25 Year Replacement Costs” for the major equipment and structures owned by St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. This inventory and estimate were then used as the foundation for creating the long-range 25 Year Capital Maintenance Plan (CMP), which was commissioned by the Rev. Father Joseph A. D’Aurora and presented to the Finance Council on June 15, 2014.

The CMP explains that the Parish has facilities and equipment valued at over $1,630,000 that must be continuously maintained and/or replaced. Meeting this financial obligation, as well as upgrading our facilities to better accommodate our handicapped parishioners and visitors, will require continued Maintenance Reserve Fund contributions from our parishioners.

To address the long-term needs of the parish, several steps have been taken.
​• A Maintenance Reserve Fund has been established to avoid the need for future Capital Campaigns and to ensure adequate funds are available to repair or replace equipment over time.
• Adequate operating funds have been budgeted to put in place contract service agreements for preventive maintenance using appropriate experts to protect our investments and extend the useful life of equipment systems.
• An accurate inventory of St. Patrick’s facilities and equipment has been documented.
• A long-term comprehensive maintenance plan for guiding maintenance activities and forecasting future projects and capital investment has been developed.
