Alert level

Red. A bankruptcy plan-supplement filing now names specific church/parish sites as anticipated real property to be sold or collateralized to fund the Diocese of Oakland plan. This is not a public broker listing and does not give an asking price or sale price, but it is a primary court-docket property-disposition signal.

New observed facts

1. Plan supplement names specific sale/collateralization candidates

Docket #2867, Exhibit G is titled: “List of Real Property anticipated to be sold or collateralized to fund the Plan, including as collateral for the Exit Facility.” It includes a section headed “Potential Whole Parish Site Property Disposition/Collateralization.”

Oakland whole-parish-site entries listed there:

• St. Patrick Oakland — APNs 6-7-40 and 6-7-41 — 1023 / 1005 Peralta St, Oakland.
• St. Augustine Oakland — APNs 16-1414-23-3, 16-1414-24-3, and 16-1414-25-2 — 400 Alcatraz Ave, 414 Alcatraz Ave, and 6404 Dana St, Oakland.
• Our Lady of Lourdes Oakland — APN 23-419-24-2 — 2808 Lakeshore Ave, Oakland.
• St. Paschal Oakland — APN 43A-4675-5-27 — 3700 Dorisa Ave, Oakland.
• Sacred Heart Oakland — APN 12-1015-2-2 — 4025 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Oakland.
• St. Andrew Korean Pastoral Center Oakland — APNs 37A-2733-14-6, 37A-2733-17, and 37A-2733-18 — 6226 Camden St plus 3226 / 3232 62nd Ave, Oakland.
• Mary Help of Christians / OCR “Mary HC” Oakland — APNs 19-82-1 and 19-87-14 — 2611 E 9th St and the adjacent Mary Help parcel already tracked in the dossier.

Outside-Oakland whole-site entries in the same section: St. Barnabas Alameda, St. Albert Alameda, St. Rose Crockett, St. Stephen Walnut Creek, Transfiguration Castro Valley, and Our Lady of Guadalupe Fremont.

The same Exhibit G also lists “Potential Parish House Disposition/Collateralization,” including:

• St. Leo Oakland — APN 13-1117-25 — 4272 Howe St, Oakland.

Important evidence label: this is court-docket evidence of anticipated sale/collateralization. It is not a broker listing, not an asking price, and not a confirmed sale.

2. First amended disclosure statement expands the real-estate sale language

Docket #2902 says the Debtor is willing to sell a considerable percentage of real estate “including up to thirteen houses of worship or pastoral centers” to fund survivor compensation. It further says the reorganized debtor will liquidate:

• all twelve vacant real estate parcels titled in the Debtor’s name that are not part of larger church/ministry parcels;
• vacant portions of eighteen real-estate parcels titled in the Debtor’s name;
• Debtor-owned portions of thirteen real-property locations on which churches currently operate as primary or secondary locations;
• five residential homes owned by the Debtor and one residential home owned by Adventus;
• other ministry real estate only as absolutely necessary.

The same section says: “All told, the Debtor has committed to using not less than 48 parcels of real estate to fund its Plan obligations.”

3. Committee objection keeps pressure on broader liquidation

Docket #2912 argues the Debtor could improve survivor recoveries by selling the real property it has agreed to sell even if Livermore proceeds are realized, and by selling other real estate previously indicated for sale. It notes that the announced 13 church closures are substantially below “the 30 or more Churches” the Bishop was exploring for closure, clustering, merging, or selling before the bankruptcy case.

4. DIP financing order does not list Oakland churches as DIP collateral

Docket #2936, interim DIP financing order, lists DIP collateral consisting of:

• Lafayette Retreat Center, Reliez Valley Rd, Lafayette.
• Holy Sepulchre Funeral Home/Mortuary, 1051 Harder Rd, Hayward.
• Holy Cross Cemetery parcels, 2125 E 18th St / E 18th St, Antioch.
• St. Michael Cemetery parcels, 3885 East Ave / East Ave, Livermore.

No Oakland parish/church site appears in the DIP collateral schedule. This does not negate Exhibit G’s sale/collateralization list; it means the interim DIP collateral package is separate.

5. Cathedral property settlement signal

Docket #2867, Exhibit J contains form CCCEB settlement documents. It states that The Catholic Cathedral Corporation of the East Bay is the legal owner in fee simple of 2121 Harrison Street, Oakland, “the site of the Cathedral of Christ the Light, as well as RCBO’s chancery offices, a rectory, a mausoleum, and other improvements,” and contemplates transfer of the Cathedral Property to RCBO in satisfaction of the CCCEB Note after confirmation/effective date. The note balance is left blank in the form. This is an ownership/estate-structure signal, not a sale listing.

Negative evidence worth preserving

• No public asking price, confirmed buyer, broker offering memorandum, or closed sale price was found for the named Oakland church sites.
• LoopNet extraction listed Oakland religious-facility addresses 2100 5th Ave, 2505 Telegraph Ave, 5783 Foothill Blvd, 1649 12th Ave, and 1700 84th Ave; none matched the Catholic candidate-site addresses.
• CityFeet extraction listed 2100 5th Ave, 2505 Telegraph Ave, 310 Peralta St, 5783 Foothill Blvd, 1649 12th Ave, 4712 International Blvd, and 1700 84th Ave; none matched the Catholic candidate-site addresses. 310 Peralta St is not St. Patrick’s 1023 Peralta St.
• Crexi extraction/search showed an Oakland religious-buildings market page but did not surface any matching Catholic candidate address in the extracted text.
• Exact address/name searches for St. Patrick, St. Augustine, Our Lady of Lourdes, Sacred Heart, St. Andrew Kim, Mary Help of Christians, St. Paschal, and St. Leo did not surface a public broker/listing page.
• Planning/redevelopment searches found older or unrelated records, including 2011 St. Paschal / 3700 Dorisa planning records and Oak Knoll community-meeting references, but no current 2026 redevelopment filing found in web search.

Cost signals and labels

No observed asking price, sale price, court value, or broker estimate was found for the candidate church sites.

Court-list package agent estimate screens, using the existing land-centric methodology:

St. Paschal Baylon, 3700 Dorisa	Court-listed potential whole-site disposition/collateralization	agent estimate	$2.0M–$4.6M
Sacred Heart, 4025 MLK Jr. Way	Court-listed potential whole-site disposition/collateralization	agent estimate	$831.9k–$1.9M
Mary Help of Christians package, 2611 E 9th + adjacent APN	Court-listed potential whole-site disposition/collateralization	agent estimate	$501.6k–$1.14M
St. Andrew Kim package, 6226 Camden + 3226/3232 62nd Ave	Court-listed potential whole-site disposition/collateralization	agent estimate	$535.3k–$1.22M
St. Augustine package, 400/414 Alcatraz + 6404 Dana	Court-listed potential whole-site disposition/collateralization	agent estimate	$498.0k–$1.13M
St. Patrick, 1023/1005 Peralta	Court-listed potential whole-site disposition/collateralization	agent estimate	$438.8k–$997.4k
Our Lady of Lourdes Debtor-owned parcel, 2808 Lakeshore	Court-listed potential whole-site disposition/collateralization, but only one RCBO parcel is listed	agent estimate	$78.0k–$177.4k for the listed debtor parcel; broader campus estimate remains $776.0k–$1.8M
St. Leo parish-house parcel, 4272 Howe	Court-listed potential parish-house disposition/collateralization, not whole site	agent estimate	$73.6k–$167.3k

Candidate-site changes

• Closure-site sale/collateralization probability is now elevated from closure-based possible to court-listed likely disposition/collateralization watch for Mary Help of Christians, Our Lady of Lourdes, Sacred Heart, St. Andrew Kim Korean Pastoral Center, St. Augustine, St. Paschal Baylon, and St. Patrick. Actual sale vs collateralization remains unresolved.
• St. Paschal remains the strongest sale watch because it also has a pastor-level reported sale statement.
• St. Leo the Great now has a parcel-level parish-house disposition/collateralization signal for APN 13-1117-25; the main parish/campus remains active and not on the closure list.
• Cathedral Parish of Christ the Light now has a court-plan ownership-transfer/settlement signal involving CCCEB and RCBO, but no sale/listing signal.
