Blessed Sacrament Sr. Donna Breslin, the president of the congregation, said in a statement that a portion of the proceeds from the sales will support the care of retired sisters. Proceeds from the sale of the properties will be used "to challenge, in new ways, all forms of racism as well as the deeply rooted injustices in the world," she said. The decision, according to the statement, will make it possible for the congregation to carry forward the vision and spirit of St. Katharine Drexel.
