The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis plans to sell its chancery office and three other properties to help pay creditors in bankruptcy, chief financial officer Tom Mertens told a creditors' committee meetingon Tuesday, according to MPRNews.org yesterday. He estimated the properties could be sold for "maybe a max of around $11 million" but said the archdiocese hasn't determined the exact amount. The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis filed for bankruptcy protection in January amid more than a hundred claims by people who said they were sexually abused by Catholic priests.
