St. Charles Borromeo Seminary’s relocation from its longtime Wynnewood, Montgomery County campus to Gwynedd Mercy University took another step as the seminary announced an agreement of sale April 19 for a 15-acre parcel of the university’s property.
The seminary purchased the tract that includes two existing buildings on the northern part of the GMU campus for $10 million, and the Maguire Foundation contributed another $3 million. The sale will not be closed until after a period of due diligence and approval by the seminary and university, according to a statement.
