Bishop Richard J. Malone mentioned in March that no Catholic Diocese of Buffalo properties would be off-limits from the possibility of being sold to help compensate childhood victims of clergy sexual abuse.
The sell-off started on Tuesday, with Malone’s sudden announcement that he will put on the market his own residence, a palatial mansion on one of Buffalo’s most exclusive streets that’s been home to Buffalo bishops since 1952.
“This move underscores the importance we place on helping the victims of abuse to begin healing,” Malone said in a statement emailed to The News Tuesday afternoon.
The bishop’s residence at 77 Oakland Place, assessed at $1.3 million, has nine bedrooms and six bathrooms in 11,050 square feet of space.
