The Diocese of Niagara is reporting selling St. Hilda’s for $1,900,000:
The Anglican Diocese of Niagara sold the former St. Hilda’s Church property to the Region of Halton on August 14, 2013 for $1,900,000.
A response from the Town of Oakville to my email inquiry on their buying price yielded:
Hi David;
The amount was $2,250,000.00 to purchase the 1258 Rebecca Street property.
It appears that the Town has the purchase price wrong:
As you can see, the property has been sold twice, once in 1957 for $2 when it was effectively donated by a parishioner; the parishioner was still attending St. Hilda’s when the vote was taken to leave the Diocese of Niagara in 2008. The second sale was by the Diocese of Niagara in 2013 for a slightly larger sum.
no doubt all smiles at the Niagara Diocese Synod (being held today and tomorrow) for their new positive cash position- sad and totally disgusting this whole sordid affair- God help them (they are going to need it when they are called to their real account)
