Nuns at the Benedictine Sanctuary, 800 N. Country Club, are hoping collectors will help get them out of debt.

\nThey’re hosting a silent auction where several pieces of furniture from the Steinfeld mansion are up for sale.<\/p>\n
The nuns lived in the mansion for a time, back in the 1930s, before moving to the Monastery on Country Club.<\/p>\n
“The furniture was part of the house, so it was our property too,” explains Sister Lupita Barajas, prioress of the monastery.<\/p>\n
Barajas says maintenance on the 66-year-old building is quite expensive, as is medical care for the nuns who reside there.\u00c2\u00a0 Some of the sisters are in their 80s.<\/p>\n
In the past year, the sanctuary is $75-thousand in the red.<\/p>\n
The auction begins at the\u00c2\u00a0Benedictine Sanctuary on Country Club, Saturday morning, July 22,\u00c2\u00a0 10am until 1pm.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Successful buyers will likely be notified later in the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
