About this project
Saint Maria Goretti Parish is proposing a new two-story parish center building at 1601 Derstine Road in Hatfield Township, about 9,000 square feet on roughly 0.88 acres of its 15.98-acre property. An existing convent building on the site would be demolished to make room for it. Public water and sewer already serve the location.
