The Beginning of the Year of Grace of Our Jesus Christ 2018

Since June, 2016, St. Catherine of Siena has been
given the green light by the Diocese of Orlando to pro-
ceed with the design of our new temple. With this ap-
proval comes planning and a lengthy implementa�on pro-
cess. Since June 27, 2016, we started the journey of
building our temple which includes hiring an Owner’s rep-
resenta�ve (This took place on August 30, 2016) hiring the
architect in charge of designing the building (This took
place on November 17, 2016) and finally hiring the con-
struc�on company or General Contractor in charge of the
actual construc�on of the project (This took place on Au-
gust 14th
of this year) .
An Owner’s representa�ve is typically a 3rd party
(individual or company) that is hired by the Owner (St.
Catherine of Siena Catholic Church) to represent us during
site selec�on and design and construc�on phases. A9er
interviewing various candidates, the commi:ee chose
Mark Rieker of Rieker and Associates Inc. Mark came
highly recommended because he has built various Catho-
lic Churches for the Diocese of Orlando, including, St.
Theresa Catholic Church, in Ocoee, and currently Saint
John the Evangelist, in Viera. Once hired he started work-
ing with the construc�on commi:ee to hire an architect.
The Dioceses of Orlando compiled a list of ap-
proved architects that have a history of building churches
and a knowledge of liturgically accurate floorplans. The
request was sent to various firms and each architect was
rigorously interviewed for hours in order to make the
right decision for our project. With the help of Mark Riek-
er the Construc�on Commi:ee selected Plunke: Raysich,
who immediately began to work on designing the new
building keeping always in mind our budget of 3 million
dollars. On December 6th
, 2016, the construc�on com-
mi:ee unanimously voted to move forward with one of
8
the floorplan op�ons given by the architect. On February
16th
thru March 15th
of 2017, the Construc�on Commi:ee
completed the preliminary pricing. The design and render-
ings were finalized shortly a9er, on May 24th
of 2017. The
applica�on for the final engineering and site plan approval
was finalized on August 2, 2017, leading the county to ap-
prove our project and site plan on September 13, 2017.
For the hiring of the General Contractor we fol-
lowed similar procedures and a9er interviewing three con-
struc�on companies we selected Henkelman Construc�on,
which gave us the total cost for our design. With the com-
ple�on of the church’s design within budget, the Diocesan
Finance Commi:ee approved the loan on October 11,
2017. This brings us to the present as we are preparing the
groundbreaking ceremony to take place the 26th of No-
vember beginning with the 10:00 am mass presided by
Bishop Noonan. Currently, we are in the building permit
process and the actual construc�on will begin in December
of 2017.
Since St. Catherine of Siena was established in
1994, the parishioners have raised money, first to build
the mul�purpose building, our social hall, and then to
build the temple. A9er paying off the construc�on loan
for the social hall, which we currently use as the temple,
St. Catherine of Siena began to raise funds to build the
temple. With the funds we’ve collected all these years, we
were able to expand the current building, and complete
the site work. The site work is part of any construc�on
project, we paid for ours without incurring any debt which
allows us now to use the rest of the funds, a li:le over 1.5
million for the new temple. The total cost of the project is
3 million dollars. The Diocese however, will lend us the
other $1.5 million. With current material prices being high-
er than ever, we realize this amount unfortunately, is not
enough to build our temple that would fit this ever grow-
ing community. Therefore the Construc�on Commi:ee
decided to design and construct the biggest building we
could for the three million dollars. We understood that
there would be some choices we had to make if we fol-
lowed this decision.
Choice number one that we made, was to build
the temple now, knowing that it would be as big as the
growing parish will need in the future; choice number
two, was to design a building that is easily expandable, so
our design provides for easy expansion to a total of 1200
seats in the future, for now, we will accommodate just a
li:le over 700. Choice number three was to not include
the adora�on chapel in this phase, however the design
provide for easy addi�on of the adora�on chapel in the
near future, when we can raise funds for it. Choice num-
ber four was to not include any furnishings, such as pews,
the crucifix, etc., but to take what we are using now and
use it in the new temple un�l we can have the money to
buy them.
However, since we do not begin to pay the loan
un�l a9er the building is completed, we have a year, and
the permission of the Diocese to raise funds during this
year to be able to buy as much as we can of the liturgical
furnishings and other items that we will need for the new
church. The Construc�on Commi:ee has prepared a list
of such items, and is invi�ng families, groups or individual
who wish to donate in memory of a loved one, or in hon-
or of the family to please do so. The list is included follow-
ing this ar�cle. Because some of the items have to be spe-
cial ordered, we need to have the funds within the next
four months, such items include the pews and the crucifix
and statutes. We are glad and at the same �me thankful
to Annuncia�on Parish, in Longwood, because as they
decided to renovate their sanctuary, they donated to us
the altar, the ambo, the Blessed Sacrament stand, the
