My place of business is Limerick, Pennsylvania...until recently, Limerick was a rural suburb of the boroughs (towns) of Pottstown and Royersford! Dotted with large dairy, cattle, and grain farms it has become the target area for both residential and commercial expansion!
One of the unique occurrences which I would like to address is a religious event...the Creation of a new Roman Catholic Parish called 'Blessed Teresa Of Calcutta'...named of course after the Roman Catholic nun who served the poor and dying of Calcutta and who died in 1997!
Her cause for canonization as a Saint by the church is imminent!
This new parish, however is an amalgam of two very old and very humble congregations brought together in sacrifice and love...St. Peters of Pottstown and St. Clare of Linfield!
I have become acquainted with some members of both of these beloved groups! Since it is on my way to work, I take advantage several times a week by participating in morning worship celebrations! And the people of St. Peters and St. Clares, now Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, have shown me the oneness that is developing amongst them!
As their new Church and School facility is currently under construction in Limerick, not far from my office, and as a tribute, I would like to dedicate to them and their Pastor, Rev. Paul C. Brandt, the following Video!
St. Peter, St. Clare, and Blessed Teresa Pray For Us!!!
One of the reasons people like to locate or relocate into the region in which I live and work is the many state and national parks that dot the landscape...within a one hour drive, there are at least a dozen parks from which to choose! And I mean large parks...hundreds of acres...thousands of acres!
The one I would like to highlight in this post is called French Creek State Park!
Comprising over 7300 acres, French Creek State Park offers for recreational opportunities:
Trails - Trail Biking - Horseback Riding - Picnicking - Swimming - Boating - Fishing - Hunting - Disc Golf - Orienteering - Wildlife Watching - Organized Group Cabin Camps - Organized Group Tenting - Cabins - Camping Cottages - Camping
There are over 30 miles of trails, 8 miles of horse trails, and 2 lakes...Scotts Run Lake, a cold water 22 acre lake, and Hopewell Lake, a 68 acre lake.
From my home in Douglassville, PA, I can be there in around 15 minutes! It is not just a huge forest in the country, but a very well equipped, well staffed, well managed recreational facility!
Its history is also impressive...Hopewell Furnace began producing iron for America in the late 18th Century...around 1771! Much of the iron was produced using charcoal that was acquired and produced by repeated timbering of the local forests...not until 1883, when the furnace closed, did the present mixed oak forests develop!
I believe that this resource is one of the 'best kept secrets' in our area...and represents an exciting and diversified recreational family opportunity!
Start planning now to explore the many recreational advantages that French Creek State Park has to offer! Here are some links to assist you in your planning!

Full service title agency, not affiliated with or controlled by any bank, realty agent, lender, or builder. Locally owned and operated to serve PA & NJ with courteous service and friendly closings.
I. PRIMARY MISSION---Commitment To Excellence In Work Product
We at Patriot Land take pride in our work product, 
i.e., the conveyancing systems we employ, the documents we prepare (deeds, settlement statements, etc.), the title reports, commitments, and policies we send to our customers, our meticulous attention to detail, and the follow-up care we render.
At Patriot Land we do not maintain a helter skelter atmosphere in our office as exists in many high pressure environments. Our team does not subscribe to eleventh hour "scurrying around to get the job done"; however, we often close transactions within days of receiving a title application. We do our homework in a comfortable, relaxed manner which then results in a pleasant and efficient final closing.
II. SECONDARY MISSION---Commitment To Professionalism To Every Consumer
We at Patriot Land encourage the public, the consumer, the first time home buyer, the student, any one interested in learning about Title Insurance, to contact us with questions or to arrange a personal visit to our facility.
We believe there is no greater asset than an informed and educated consumer.
With over 30 years experience in title insurance, 
we at Patriot Land are specialists in title matters, handling residential as well as commercial transactions. First time home buyers, FHA/VA, Multi-lingual, 1031 exchanges, title clearance assistance, and difficult title matters are our specialty. Approved Attorneys are welcome. We offer refinance closings in the comfort of your own home. Call us for additional information.
We believe in educating our customers throughout the closing process, so that they become informed consumers. Hence, almost 100% of our business is from referrals or recommendations from real estate agents, lenders, lawyers, builders and informed consumers. All of us at Patriot Land do our homework so you won't have to do yours. Our staff is acquainted with all phases of a real estate transaction. With backgrounds in Banking, Quality Assurance, Industry, Hospitality, Real Estate Sales, Mortgage Banking and Mortgage Brokerage, our employees function as a team to serve the various needs of our clients. We are accustomed to interacting with other real estate and mortgage professionals to achieve positive results. We like pleasant closings.
Our office is located in Limerick, Pa., 1 minute from Rt. 422 bypass (Limerick/Linfield exit). Licensed in PA & NJ, our specialties are Montgomery, Chester, Berks, Bucks, Delaware, and Philadelphia Counties.
Although those friends and associates who interact with us frequently know we can be contacted at ANY time, our office is NOT a 24/7 operation. We work untiringly Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM unless we are at a closing, and reserve other times for our family activities.
On a more personal note, two of us in the office 
have 12 children between us. We are very much a family oriented group and we encourage & welcome family members (children & pets) of our clients to attend closings.
Try us! Patriot Land is a real bricks and mortar full service title operation using the internet to enhance our marketing coverage. We are not a 'virtual title operation' with only an internet presence!
CONSUMER BEWARE---These shadow-type operations are cropping up all around and are too easy to implement---Beware of these 'shell' operations.
We always welcome new business. And none of that stuff:
