On Friday last week the 9th of March, the court ruled in favor of the Archbishop ordering Hollister to pay Perry and the Archbishop $15 million for interfering in the deal and that the nuns had no right to the property which it ruled belonged to the Archdiocese.
It was then that tragedy struck when Sister Catherine Rose Holzman exhausted from the proceedings, collapsed in court and died right there in the Los Angeles courtroom. Sister Catherine’s photo is shown below.

Sister Callanan has promised she will never give up fighting and has revealed how harassment from the Archbishop has slowly but surely dwindled their order. This is what she said 'On March 9th, 2018 we tragically lost Sister Catherine Rose, my beloved fellow IHM Sister and original organizer of this GoFundMe campaign. She was my cherished partner in this ongoing legal battle to keep our convent. It is now more important than ever to continue this fight and for our cause to prevail.'

Sister Callanan suffers from diabetes and breast cancer and recalls how multi-millionaire singer Perry told them she wanted the 22,000 feet property so that she could just sip tea and be herself. But that’s hardly the focal point of the story. It gets much worse and shocking.

Sister Callanan revealed something shocking about the harassment meted out to the nuns by the Archbishop. She says "All these years of my religious life, I would never have expected to be fighting an archbishop to keep our own property and money, so we can care for ourselves. We don't want the archbishop handling our money."
Callanan also revealed how the Archbishop has been slowly making sure every sister is sent to a separate retirement home so that they would not be united. If you are still wondering what happened to the thousands of dollars in sister Callanan’s bank account? Well!! She says it was suddenly closed. Each sister had almost $299,772 in their bank accounts which she revealed when this story was first carried by the daily mail. Now Callanan lives a frugal lifestyle with nothing to survive on as the Archbishop refuses to pay any of her legal bills. She only survives on a paltry stipend provided by the RCA. (Royal Catholic Archdiocese).
