When discussing purchasing Catholic parish's that are being closed by the local Diocese you have to read the fine print of the sales docuмents.  When the Archdiocese in St. Louis started closing and consolidating multiple property's in the 2000's there were requirements in the purchase agreement that stated;

Can not purchase for, lease to or donate to any group that claim to be Roman Catholic that does not have the ecclesiastical approval of the Roman Catholic Church. 

While traditional groups would love to purchase local parish property's up for sale, they don't want to get into a long lengthy legal battle with the deep pockets of the local Diocese.

I think that is how + Williamson and 2 or 3 others bought the school in Lauzon Quebec, Canada, c. '87.

They got enough for a downpayment under another name, and then the local bishop wasn't happy when it was transferred to FSSPX. I believe that is how they worked it.. Same thing in Vernon B.C.  Fr. Greuter was in that area, and they fooled the local bishop.

...The roots of the Vernon congregation go back to around 1984, with its founder Father Paul Greuter saying the Old Latin mass in a basement chapel in Kamloops starting in 1973 and then later in other communities such as Barrière, Oliver, and Vernon as and when the demand arose.

In 1986, the former Ukrainian Catholic Church in Vernon was put up for sale and a group traditionalist parishioners who were sympathetic to Father Greuter managed to raise the funds to acquire the building. Our Lady Queen of Peace Church held its first high mass on May 18th, 1986..." I drove their altar from MN USA. (Dorothy?) to Vernon...June 2, snowing at the mountain Pass...The good 'ole days.
