Sister Catherine Rose Holzman of the Archidiocese of Los Angeles, a nun involved in a legal battle over the sale of a convent Katy Perry hoped to purchase, has died at the age of 89. Fox11 LA reported that she “collapsed and died” during a court appearance. “Sister Catherine Rose served the Church with dedication and love for many years and today we remember her life with gratitude,” Archbishop Jose H. Gomez said Friday in a statement. “We extend our prayers today to the Immaculate Heart of Mary community and to all her friends and loved ones.” Holzman was one of two nuns that tried to sell an eight-acre convent in Los Feliz to restaurant owner Dana Hollister, who planned to turn the convent into a boutique hotel. But in December, a jury ordered that Hollister pay almost $10 million in compensatory damages to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and Perry for interfering in the Archdiocese’s sale of the property.
