These policies and procedures are reviewed by the Archdiocesan Facilities and Real Estate Advisory Commission (FREAC). FREAC’s membership includes pastors, construction, facility and real estate professionals with significant experience and technical expertise in the successful performance of capital and real estate projects. FREAC provides general advice in the development of policies and procedures, reviews capital projects and real estate transactions, and provides recommendations to the Archbishop.
