PICKERING -- A church that a group of residents hoped to purchase in Whitevale has officially been sold to an outside buyer.
The former Whitevale United Church will now be named St. Joseph of Arimathea Orthodox Church. A group of residents was in the midst of fundraising to purchase the building when they learned the Orthodox church placed an offer in the summer. The Orthodox church officially closed on the sale last week, said Michael Plomaritis, of Coldwell Banker, representing the church.
The new church plans to donate some of the items from the building, such as commemorative plaques and tables, to the United Church members, he said. It will also host a contents sale and auction this Saturday, Nov. 21 at the church, Whitevale and North roads, east of Altona Road. The smaller items will be on sale in the basement at 8 a.m. and the furniture will be auctioned off upstairs at 10 a.m.
