The Archdiocese of Los Angeles said the missing money was discovered during a routine audit. “The Sisters of St. Joseph both desire and intend to make complete restitution to St. James School,” the congregation said. ‘Deep remorse’Parents were informed about the nuns’ misdeeds in a Nov. 28 letter from the school’s pastor, Msgr. He said the school did not wish to pursue criminal proceedings against the pair, who spent decades as students’ moral enforcers.
