Diocese of Buffalo Sells 3 Properties For $4.6M To Help Fund Sex Abuse Settlement

The Diocese of Buffalo has sold three downtown properties worth $4.6 million to help pay settlements to victims of clergy sexual abuse. “The Diocese is pleased that the sale of its former Catholic Center at 795 Main Street has been completed.
