BOSTON — Boston College, a Roman
Catholic school, has agreed to buy the Boston
archbishop’s mansion and 43 adjoining acres
for $99.4 million, providing the church with
badly needed cash to settle the sex scandal that
has engulfed it.
Proceeds from the sale, announced Tuesday,
will be used to pay a $90 million settlement
reached last year with more than 550 alleged vic
tims of sexual abuse.

Archbishop Sean O'Malley
said. But he added: “1 don’t
think we had any options. The
sense of loss, in terms of our
history here, is certainly very
great.’’
O’Malley has said the
archdiocese is $135 million
in debt. The archdiocese put
the property on the market
late last year, and Boston
College immediately
expressed interest.
The land is across the street
from the college’s main cam
pus in the city’s main Brighton
section.

three-story Italian Renaissance-style mansion.
But Boston College spokesman Jack Dunn has
said the land would give the boxed-in school
room for athletic fields.
From the start, the church emphasized that
Boston College would have no advantage over
any other bidder. And the Rev. William Leahy.
Boston College’s president, said there was “no
sweetheart deal, no clergy discount today. This is
a significant price, no question. Our advisers felt
it was a very fair price.”
The archbishop said he was glad the property
w ill stay in the Catholic community.
The sale of the property is part of O’Malley’s
pledge not to use collection-plate money to pay
the settlement, which is the biggest known deal
between a U.S. diocese and victims of child
molesting priests.
The sex scandal dealt a major financial
blow to the church, which reported a loss of
nearly $14 million in fiscal 2003 after sharp
drops in collections, investments and land
holdings.
“It was very important for
us as an archdiocese to clear
ly show how the funds for the
settlement were raised,”
O’Malley said.
Unlike his predecessors,
O’Malley does not live in
the mansion, which was
built in the 1920s and
became a symbol of the
church’s grandeur.
In addition to living quar
ters. the mansion houses
offices and meeting rooms,
and is used to broadcast
daily Mass.
