{Louisville, Kentucky}...Fifty-four year old Mary "Kathy" Montfort, a former bookkeeper for the Little Sisters of the Poor, has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $300,000 from the charity and using the money to buy herself a new car, among other items. Montfort entered the guilty plea Monday to 16 charges including forging checks and money laundering. The charges arose in November when a nun with Little Sisters of the Poor, who operate St. Joseph's Home for the Aged in Louisville, called police to report suspicions that Montfort was embezzling from the organization. Sentencing is set for July 2nd.
