Dear Cardinal Family,
I’m excited to announce that Bobby McMillan will be joining us as Assistant Director of Security and Safety. He will be starting on Monday, November 4th.
Bobby comes to us from the San Fransisco Police Department, prior to that, the Oakland Police Department. He has played many roles with both departments, Field Training Officer, Patrol Supervisor, Supervisor for the Gang Task Force Investigative Unit, and Peer Support Officer to name a few. He has a passion for his family and serving others. Bobby is eager to contribute to our projects and team goals.
Please join me in welcoming Bobby to our team! Looking forward to an exciting journey together!
Benefits Reminder - from Mark Crawford
It’s that time of year again—Benefits Open Enrollment will begin November 4th and run through November 11th. This is the one time of the year that employees can make benefit changes effective January 1, 2025
I have placed Benefits packets in everyone's mailboxes.
Open enrollment is passive, meaning all benefits except Medical and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (F.S.A’s) will rollover to 2025. If you would like to re-enroll in Medical and Dependent Care FSA’s this must be done during Open Enrollment and elections will be effective January 1, 2025.
**Note: If you currently have elected Medical or Dependent Care FSA in 2024, please ensure all 2024 claims are incurred by December 31, 2024 and all 2024 claims are filed with Optum by March 31, 2025.**
All employees are required to login to ExponentHR and review and resubmit their benefit elections for 2025. Please take the time to review your options (Medical, Dental, Vision, etc.) and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you and your family have the coverage you need.
Please reach out to ExponentHR if you need help logging in or making changes to benefits at 866-612-3200. Additionally, for any benefits specific questions, please reach out to Jackie Couture jcouture@cathdal.org, the Diocesan Benefits Manager, or myself.

We have several Facilities capital projects that are ongoing. We wanted to provide you with an update for each of these projects.
Roof - All roof repairs have been completed so we would expect no more water intrusion. The final step of this project is to paint the barrel roof. We expect this painting and the total project to be completed in December 2024.
Window Facade Project - Now that the roof repairs are complete, we are ensuring that all of our windows are also water-tight. To date, this project has been disruptive for some of you, and we apologize for that. We are meeting with the Project Manager on Oct 24 and to confirm expectations and discuss the challenges that we have experienced with this team. If there are any additional disruptions to any of your classrooms, please let us know.
HVAC project - Siemens has also made very good progress. This project is expected to conclude in December 2024.
Life Safety Project - This project team has just started this project on-site the week of Homecoming. This project team will be working 4 days a week (Monday - Thursday) beginning at 4pm. This project team will be inside the school walls and all personnel have cleared background checks. They have been instructed not to use your teacher workrooms. Any meetings that they need to have will take place in Wesley's office or the Central Utility Plant on-site.
The only personnel that will be on-site and using our restroom facilities will be the HVAC and Life Safety project teams. The roof and facade project teams will use the facility outside.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
