(CNN) Two nuns misappropriated "substantial amounts" of funds from a Catholic school in Southern California for their own use, the monsignor of St. James Catholic Church said in a letter to parishioners. An internal investigation found that over several years, Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper and Sister Lana Chang used funds set aside for St. James Catholic School, Monsignor Michael Meyers said in the letter. The nuns are still with the order, which has promised the Archdiocese sanctions in a form to be determined, Alarcon. The order said on its website that the sisters "confirmed the misappropriation of funds and have cooperated in the investigation." The Sisters of St. Joseph both desire and intend to make complete restitution to St. James School."
