Cashing in on surplus property

MASSACHUSETTS
Boston Globe

The Boston Archdiocese and individual parishes have sold more than $90 million worth of property over the past two years, and another $29 million in sales are pending. That sum does not include the $99.4 million sale of Brighton chancery and seminary property to Boston College to raise money for a settlement with victims of clergy sexual abuse. Many of the properties are being converted to housing, but some are being used by other denominations.
