Tonia Carr, chair of St. Sabina’s cabinet, explained Sunday why the church will be withholding roughly $100,000 in monthly assessments to the Archdiocese of Chicago. The assessments, which come from St. Sabina’s church and school, will be withheld until officials close the ongoing investigation into sexual abuse claims lodged against Father Michael Pfleger.
