Two nuns in California allegedly stole more than $500,000 from the school they had been at for years, which they spent in casinos and on vacations.

Bank records show Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper and Sister Lana Lang had been embezzling funds from St. James Catholic School in Torrence for at least a decade, the Press-Telegram reported.

But officials from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles told parents and alumni of the school that auditors have not been able to trace all of the money trail.

Kreuper had retired as the school's principal earlier this year and she dealt with the school fees, which she allegedly withheld and deposited into an account only she and Chang knew about, the paper said.

While investigators found the two gave some of the stolen money back to the school, the rest was used for their "personal gain." Kreuper has admitted she took the money and expressed remorse.

I had a great aunt that was Mother Superior of some North Dakota convent.

Was she a "great aunt" (really nice, sweet sister of your mother or of your father), or a "great-aunt" (sister of one of your grandmothers or of one of your grandfathers)?

Regards,

Does anyone besides me remember the ‘Singing Nun’ from Belgium? She and a chorus of other Nuns had a hit record in French. It was around, Oh, 1964. Johnson was President. Yes, my children, I am ‘Old’, and proud of every grey whisker.

“Nuns” Stole $500k And Spent It On Gambling And Vacations:

Nuns are cloistered, meaning they cannot leave. It is a common misconception about what Nuns do, and how that benefits all of us outside their walls.

Sisters (OTOH) can steal, embezzle, gamble, and jet off to the Islands. Inevitably, they soon return to beat the children entrusted to them in schools.

I know, I endured eight years with the Sisters of Saint Joseph surviving hideous treatment and neglect imposed by that cruel regime.

Again, the most inept MSM Network is MSN! If they don’t know the difference between a Nun and a Sister, the readers don’t know either; but...

If you steal a half a million, why gamble?

The one on the right looks suspicious. I wouldn’t want her teaching my kids. I think she might have heretical views.

The singing nun became a lesbian, left the church and she and her lesbian lover killed themselves.

Awful story.

Go read Boccacvio’s “Decameron” ( kinda like an Italian Canterbury Tales) for more.

I had eight years with Sisters of Saint Joseph, too, and there were no "beatings" and "hideous treatment" and "neglect." They were strict and fair but that was good and we got a great education.
