The vision for the scale of this project requires close coordination across numerous stakeholders, disciplines, and workflows. Establishing a formal structure to manage alignment, decision-making, and execution is foundational to the restoration process.
Governance
The complex restoration work requires collaboration across The Basilica, The Basilica Landmark, and at times, our Archdiocese. Excellent and timely communication and effective coordination are needed so the various facets of the project are in sync and relevant information is shared among key stakeholders as well as Parish and Landmark leaders. To this end, in 2024 The Restoration Executive Committee was established to effectively coordinate this important restoration project.
