This ministry, begun in March 2001, is composed of a diverse group of six people, whose backgrounds include business, construction, and parish administration duties.

The responsibility of this ministry is to serve as the basic advisory committee to Father Sharrett regarding property acquisition and expansion of the physical plant of St. Patrick Parish.  From the time of its inception, this ministry has been working on business related real estate purchases, followed by the matter of zoning for the first property purchased by St. Patrick Church.

The Property and Development Ministry presently does not hold regularly scheduled meetings, but rather comes together when requested by Father Sharrett as issues arise.  Even though meetings are not scheduled, the ministry is open to comments from parishioners.

It is inevitable that a parish such as St. Patrick, given its growth in membership and realizing the land area where parishioners reside, has need for a ministry of this sort in order to ensure that changes come in an orderly manner.  And so it was that the formation of this ministry was begun and its work will be carried out as plans are formulated in the future.

Contact person, Jim Elliott, may be reached at (610) 388-7212, for further information about the work of the Property and Development Ministry, or when parishioners have ideas they would like to share with this ministry.
