Consolidation of Campus Facilities Responsibilities

The Campus Director of Facilities is a newly established position created to consolidate all campus facility responsibilities for the parish, school, and preschool under one unified leadership role.

The Director oversees the operation, maintenance, safety, and long-term care of all OLA campus facilities, equipment, and grounds — including the church, parish hall, parish offices, rectory, gym, school buildings, and preschool facilities.

This role supervises the maintenance team and external contractors, ensuring that all parish and school facilities remain safe,  and functional.

We are deeply grateful for the dedicated service and hard work of our current facilities and maintenance staff, whose ongoing commitment helps care for our community each day.

Please join us in welcoming Bryan Shepherd to this newly created role as Campus Director of Facilities. We look forward to the coordination and collaboration this position will bring to the continued stewardship of our campus.

After joining the U.S. Navy out of high school, Bryan began a career in facilities maintenance in Atlanta before transitioning into the hospitality industry more than 30 years ago at the Holiday Inn Atlanta Airport. In 2000, he relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, where he served as a multi-property chief engineer and steadily advanced into hotel leadership roles, ultimately becoming a general manager. Throughout his career, he has worked with Marriott International and several leading hospitality franchise companies, building a reputation for operational excellence, leadership, and guest satisfaction.

Outside of work, Bryan enjoys traveling - especially road trips to the beach, spending time with family, and playing card games. He and his wife are proud parents of four daughters and grandparents to seven grandchildren.

Bryan will joined the OLA family on Tuesday, May 26th. Be sure and welcome him when you see him around campus.
