Holy closing
By Matthew L. Brown
The Teresian Carmelites, a small religious group based in Worcester, are expected to close on the purchase of a 99-acre property in Paxton late this morning for $230,000 and move forward with plans for a monastery and wind farm.
The Teresians had entered into a purchase-sale agreement with the property's owner, Boston-based American Tower, in 2005, but American Tower attempted to back out of the deal, according to the Teresians.
The issue ended up in Worcester Superior Court, but a recent court decision in the Teresian's favor cleared the way for the today's closing.
The Teresians - whose membership includes approximately 30 men and women - plan to build a "green monastery" on the property for about 14 of its members, according to Brother Dennis Anthony Wyrzykowski.
The group also hopes to build between two and six power generating wind turbines on the property, although the Teresians need to get approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration to do so, Wyrzykowski said.
