Fathers Alexander, Eric, and Myron met with the local committee working with the Preconciliar Commission to organize the Council.

Specific Council logistics and details were discussed with subcommittee chairs and action lists were drafted for their continuing work. The Commission members and local committee chairs also met with the company that will be handling the Council’s audio-visual needs and exhibit, display, and chapel set-up.
A meeting was also held with members of the Pittsburgh Hilton Hotel management, who updated Commission members and local chairs on the progress of renovations at the hotel and walked the committee through the hotel to discuss specific facility details. The Hilton Pittsburgh has issued a statement explaining the status of their renovation work. The Preconciliar Commission continues to monitor closely progress in this area.
