\u201cBishop Richard J. Malone announced that the Bishop\u2019s Residence at 77 Oakland Place, Buffalo, will be placed on the market this summer and all proceeds from the sale of the property will be dedicated to the Diocese of Buffalo\u2019s Independent Reconciliation & Compensation Program to assist victims of past sexual abuse by priests.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis move underscores the importance we place on helping the victims of abuse to begin healing,\u201d said Bishop Malone, noting that he consulted with the diocesan Finance Council, College of Consultors and the Presbyteral Council in making this decision.<\/p>\n
The former convent\u00a0at St. Stanislaus Parish on Townsend Street in Buffalo, will now serve as the Bishop\u2019s Residence and as a venue for small events. \u201cI am proud to move to the heart of Buffalo\u2019s Polonia, especially as a way to be a small part of the renewal that is happening in so many ways in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Diocese of Buffalo will also be selling the Sheehan Residence for retired priests on Linwood Avenue, Buffalo. Proceeds from the sale of that property will be devoted to the Retired Diocesan Priests\u2019 Medical Benefits Fund. The three-story brick building at Linwood & Utica was originally built in 1928 as the rectory for what was then St. Joseph Cathedral on Delaware Avenue. The \u201cNew Cathedral\u201d as it was known was demolished in the 1970\u2019s and the former rectory has been used ever since as a residence for retired priests. The building features 12 suite-style units. There are three other diocesan residences for retired priests which can accommodate those now living at the Sheehan residence.<\/p>\n
The Bishop\u2019s Residence, also built in 1928, was designed by architect E.B. Green for the Forman family. The property was sold to the Diocese of Buffalo in 1952 and has been the residence for six of Buffalo\u2019s bishops as well as priests serving on their staffs. The grand Tudor manor house features four massive stone chimneys, slate roof and a separate apartment above the five-car garage.<\/p>\n
