MONCTON, N.B. – The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Moncton says the diocese is reducing staff and selling properties to help pay about $5 million in compensation to people who allege they were sexually abused by priests.
Archbishop Valery Vienneau says the number of employees will be cut to 14 from 20.
Vienneau says the diocese will also sell its office and another piece of land, both in Dieppe.
He says the office costs about $60,000 per year to operate.
