GALLUP, N.M. (AP) — The Diocese of Gallup has announced it has sold an iconic western New Mexico building amid a bankruptcy case linked to clergy sexual abuse.
The Gallup Independent reports (https://goo.gl/FXmufQ) that Bishop James S. Wall said in a letter last week the sale of the chancery offices will allow the diocese to make a “substantial contribution” to its Chapter 11 payment plan.
Wall says a California couple bought the build and will be donating it to a convent for the nuns of Sisters of Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Joseph.
