Religious order is closing 2 Catholic schools in Sacramento area

From The Sacramento Bee: The Legionaries of Christ, a religious order of Catholic priests, is closing two schools in the Sacramento, Calif., region. Church officials say the University of Sacramento and the Immaculate Conception Apostolic School, a seminary in Colfax for teen-age boys contemplating the priesthood, are closing. The university president says the school will end its academic programs when the last class ends in August. The University of Sacramento opened in 2005 and was the only Legion-run university in the United States. The once fast-growing and influential religious order has been in turmoil in recent years.
