SAN ANTONIO — Some residents of a North Side neighborhood are opposing the construction of five new homes that’ll house 25 priests and missionaries

The president of the North Shearer Hills Neighborhood Association says she’s worried about the safety of children surrounding their history of sexual abuse by priests, adding a majority of the people that live in the area want to keep things in the neighborhood the same.

But there are neighbors on both sides of the fence on this issue.

This project belongs to the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

They plan to demolish four single-family homes to build five, two-story houses at half a million dollars a pop.
