Leadership Teams

In order to realize our vision, coordination across a wide number of stakeholders and processes must come together in a fully orchestrated fashion. Establishing a structure to ensure this is a key part of restoration planning.

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.
