Three women who say they were
sexually abused as children in the 1960s by a Roman Catholic nun say
they hope to find peace when they meet today with the current and former
leaders of the Franciscan Sisters, based in Rochester.
St. Paul attorney Jeff Anderson
announced Thursday that two lawsuits, filed by Christine Bertrand of
Sierra Madre, Calif., and Patti Schwartz of Minneapolis, were settled
recently. A third filed by Bertrand's sister, Karen Britten of Chicago,
was dismissed because the statute of limitations had expired, Anderson
said.
