Fermeuse church sold to numbered company

The St. Charles Borromeo Catholic church in Fermeuse has been sold.

The church was sold for $43,000 to a numbered company that was incorporated in February of this year.

The provincial government’s Companies and Deeds register names 8 Hayward Avenue, St. John’s as the company’s address. The company also boasts a Churchill Square mailing address. Sijith Mayyattil Antony is listed as company director. He could not be reached for comment by press time.

The Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of St. John’s confirmed the sale, which closed on February 21.

Neither Fermeuse Mayor Jerome Kenny nor the Holy Family Parish, which oversees church functions from Cape Broyle to Renews – Cappahayden, would comment on the sale.

Construction of the church was completed in 1926, and the building was recognised federally as an historic place in 2006.
