PROXIMO News

An article in the April 7-13, 2006 edition of PRIXIMO (http://www.radiovm.com) announced that the parishioners of St-Bernard church (built 1912) in Shawinigan, QC have accepted an offer to sell the church & surrounding land for $50,000 despite its $1.7 million value. The church had to close its doors last December because of lack of funds.
