Construction Photos
The parish grounds showed signs of construction in the spring as
ground preparation began. Work was difficult as the very wet spring
saturated the ground with water. Progress continued throughout
the spring to advance the project. June construction photos
are available on our home
page. |

Cost and Funding Update August 2010
Special News Release: August 2010
Why pursue building projects now?
The cost to build will rise over time. Current economic
conditions provide an opportunity for competitive bidding that may
result in reduction of overall cost.
Being good stewards...
As good stewards of the financial resources of St. Dominic, the
Parish Council, Finance Committee, Building Committee, and Faith in
Our Future Leadership Team have undertaken a number of initiatives
to ensure fiscal responsibility including:
Reduce Project Costs
Seek in-kind donations of skills and materials
Explore sponsorships and naming rights
Limit the amount borrowed
Keeping you informed...
We will continue to keep you informed on our
efforts to reduce the project costs and increase available funding.
The timing to begin each of these three projects will be determined
by our ability to raise the needed funds. We are committed to
bringing these projects to completion in a way that is both
financially prudent and supportive of the parish's mission and
ministries.
We need each of you to help us in our efforts. If you are in a
position to help through a cash donation, an in kind gift or a
sponsorship opportunity, we would appreciate any assistance you can
provide.
We continue to be grateful for your ongoing financial support and
prayers as we pursue these projects. May God continue to bless each
of you and this wonderful community. We know that together with
God, we can build the faith community of St. Dominic Parish.

April 2010
The Building Committee met regularly with Plunket
Raysich Architects, Moore Construction, and C.G. Schmidt
Construction to further refine the project drawings for the Interior
Church Renovation, New Athletic Facility, and the Arts and
Activities Center. This was a very thorough process of developing
designs that both serve the long term needs of the parish and were realistic from a budget perspective.
The Building Committee has also spent a significant amount of time
refining an overall campus site plan and conceptual designs for
future master plan projects, namely, the Church Narthex Expansion
and School Addition. This work on the overall long-term vision for
the campus not only gave focus to our planning, but also allowed us
to present the full vision to the City of Brookfield for their
information, feedback, and approval.
Along with the City of Brookfield approval process, we also followed
a four step Church approval process through the Archdiocese of
Milwaukee.

The Building and Grounds Vision Area Implementation Teams spent
many hours identifying needs, determining potential projects, and
helping to create a Master Plan for the St. Dominic campus. The
Parish Council approved the Master Plan in March 2008. These are exciting times for St. Dominic Parish. As a Catholic
faith community we are entrusted to build upon the wonderful history
of our parish, to serve God by serving each other, and to offer our
gifts to strengthen our community today and for those who will
follow in our foot.

Building and Grounds Vision 2012 Statement
Our parish campus will be appealing and inviting, well maintained,
and updated to meet the needs of our mission and programs.
A review of the current campus (Church, Parish
Center, Rectory, School, and grounds) will determine the long-term
maintenance needs of our facilities. The team will gain an
understanding of current and anticipated needs for space.
Project teams will develop options that best
utilize and enhance current space, investigate any potential major
remodeling projects, and analyze potential building projects.
All projects will be evaluated and prioritized
based on their costs, available funds, and their ability to enhance
the worship experience and faith education of all parishioners as
well as attracting new members to our faith community. |

Plan Objective
Master Plan
The purpose of this document is to delineate the St.
Dominic Master Plan for Capital Improvements (Master Plan). The goal
is to identify new buildings and improvements to the existing
buildings that would not be considered normal maintenance. General
overviews of the projects are listed. The final versions of any of
the projects would be determined by building project teams
consisting of professionals, lay people, and parish leadership.
While this is a living document and subject to modifications and
additions, this plan is designed to be the road map we follow as
funds become available. Final approval for implementation will be
the responsibility of the Parish Council, currently installed at the
time, with guidance from the Finance Committee, and in accordance
with all Archdiocesan and Parish Policies and Procedures. Regular
review of the Master Plan is the responsibility of the Parish
Council.
Research
In 2006, following the parish celebration of its
Golden Jubilee, the Parish Council commissioned a
parish planning project called Vision 2012 to develop the principles
to guide us into the future. Based on feedback from our parishioners
and thanks to the help of dedicated staff members and many
volunteers, 12 Vision Statements and corresponding Action Plans were
presented and subsequently
approved by the Parish Council. Additional discussions with parish
leaders and parishioners led the Parish Council to create a team to
develop recommendations regarding the buildings and grounds needs
for our parish.
Parish Benefits
St. Dominic is a vibrant parish today. It is our
sacred trust to ensure it will be in the future. The projects
identified in the Master Plan are geared towards enhancing the
ministries offered at St. Dominic and that of the greater Church.
