"More real estate from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Santa Rosa is being offered for sale as the organization seeks to shore up its finances as it navigates bankruptcy reorganization amid hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse. The diocese, whose territory includes 40 parishes stretching from Sonoma and Napa counties north to the Oregon border, has been in mediation with insurers and groups of alleged victims, whose claims have totaled 260, The Press Democrat reported."
"The latest five real estate listings, mentioned vaguely in a recent court filing, are a couple of vacant acres in Sebastopol, a Napa Valley vineyard, a small Napa home, several undeveloped acres in Humboldt County and the long-vacant former clergy residence next to a 125-year-old stone church in downtown Santa Rosa. These new listings follow the sale last fall of the two unused church properties: Our Lady of Mount Carmel church in Cloverdale for $450,000 and the St. Francis church in Hopland for $275,000."
Roman Catholic Diocese of Santa Rosa has listed additional properties for sale to raise funds while it undergoes Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid roughly 260 sexual-abuse claims. The diocese covers 40 parishes from Sonoma and Napa counties north to the Oregon border and has been in mediation with insurers and alleged victims. Newly listed properties include 2.46 vacant acres in Sebastopol, a 12.44-acre Napa Valley vineyard behind St. Joan of Arc in Yountville, a small Napa home, undeveloped acres in Humboldt County, and a long-vacant former clergy residence next to a 125-year-old stone church in downtown Santa Rosa. Two unused churches were sold last fall for $450,000 and $275,000. Property sales through bankruptcy require judge approval and are subject to overbids.
