St. Martin of Tours Catholic Parish has chosen to work with REM Cleaning Services to clean their 4000 Sq Ft building in Forney, Texas. Located on County Road 213, the parish has been an important landmark in Forney for 132 years, and serves more than 700 registered households.
“The opportunity to work on St. Martin means a lot to me,” says Robert T. Quinn, founder and president of REM Cleaning Services. “As a practicing Christian, providing clean safe spaces for others to worship feels like a calling. And to work on a building with such a rich history is a real privilege.”
“This place is so much more than a building,” Father Patrick Olaleye notes. “It was destroyed in a fire almost a century ago, but with God’s spirit inside them, this community rebuilt it just a few months later. It’s a symbol, and a beacon, and maintaining it properly to serve parishioners for years to come is an important mission. That’s why we chose to work with REM.”
There are many challenges working on older buildings that require gentle treatments, specialized training, and great care is required to complete jobs properly. Preparing them for this work, the REM Cleaning team brings more than 500 hours of education and certifications from the IICRC, GBAC, Costa Group, and RIA, and more than 10,000 hours of direct cleaning experience.
“As this area continues to grow bigger and bigger every year, it’s become more important than ever to keep our roots healthy and remain connected to the times and the values and the principals put Forney on the map,” offers REM’s service and operations manager, Todd Archer. “St. Martin is an important part of that connection, and it’s a real honor to be a part of this project.”
“Amen to that,” agrees Mr. Quinn.
