March 7, 2005 - Archdiocese of Boston to Market 3 Additional Parish
Properties
(Boston, Massachusetts) March 7, 2005…The Archdiocese of Boston
today announced it will begin soliciting offers for the sale of three properties
in Concord, Rockport and Quincy. These properties were previously used
as rectory buildings associated with Our Lady Help of Christians in Concord,
St. Joachim in Rockport, and Most Blessed Sacrament in Quincy.
Due to their residential nature, these properties will be marketed in
a residential manner. Asking prices will be placed on each property and
there will not be a minimum marketing period. Interested buyers are encouraged
to contact the appropriate broker for additional information about the
property and to learn more about participating in the sale process.
The Archdiocesan Real Estate office and the Real Estate Advisory committee
will review offers received. They will make their recommendations to the
Chancellor, who will then review the financial terms. The Chancellor will
forward his recommendations to the Vicar General, who in turn will review
the recommendations in light of other considerations, including social
concerns. The Vicar General will then forward his recommendations to the
Archbishop concerning the received offers. If the Archbishop is inclined
to accept the offers, the required permissions will be sought from the
College of Consultors, and the Finance Council.
