They’re paying the sex-abuse settlement out in LA. Got to sell some property. Naturally, the property that some sisters live in, serving the poor in Santa Barbara is on the list.
Yeah.

 As she sat this week in the convent’s simple living room, where paintings of biblical scenes and framed photographs of the order’s founders line the walls, Escalera said she was still wrestling with her feelings about the letter, shifting between pain, anger and resignation. She said she remained upset that the archdiocese had not contacted the nuns directly but had chosen instead to send a letter to the convent in Los Angeles, which then notified the Santa Barbara sisters. “We’re not even worth a phone call,” she said. “That’s one of the things that hurts so much.”She and the other sisters said that they were grateful for the support from many in the community, but that they knew they could not afford to pay for a rental in Santa Barbara on their own, making it likely that they would be forced to leave the area. Escalera, looking weary after a stream of visitors, said, however, that she could not consider the future yet.
“I’m not ready right now,” she said. “I’m still trying to think it through. I do trust in God and I will accept his will. . . . But if something happens to change this, that would be wonderful.”
Okay, surely there’s some well-off Catholics in LA who can buy this property so the sisters can stay? Unless, of course, it’s already spoken for.
