MONCTON, N.B. – The archbishop of a Roman Catholic diocese in New Brunswick says it wants fair market value for properties it’s selling to help cover the costs of a five million dollar compensation package for people who allege they were sexually abused by priests.

The number of employees within the Moncton Catholic diocese will also be cut to 14 from 20.

Archbishop Valery Vienneau says the diocese will sell its office and a vacant piece of land.

Both are in Dieppe.
