Huge, deconsecrated Roman Catholic church in N.S. community now up for sale
, with realtors noting it contains over 8,000 blocks of granite in its construction and is among the largest churches in eastern Canada.Suzanne Lefort, a former treasurer of the parish council, said it’s been estimated — while she was in her volunteer position — that thorough repairs would cost over a million dollars for improvements to the roof, water system and the 28,000 cubic metre interior.
She also said it remains uncertain as of Saturday what precisely will happen to a very large crucifix behind the altar, but added the church’s sacred objects are not part of the sale. She said she hopes an investor purchases the building and gives it a fresh purpose that benefits the community.
