Biographical / Historical
The Sites and Building Committee of the Archdiocese of Newark was created to oversee and advise on the purchase and sale of property by the Archidiocese, as well as oversee all building and construction projects.

The early focus of the committee was to recommend the purchase of sites for future parishes, but the work of the committee also included overseeing the purchase and construction of sites for schools and convents. Today, the work of the Sites and Building Committee is performed by the Property Management Adminstration and the Office of Research and Planning.
