LOS ANGELES (AP) — Church officials say a pair of nuns embezzled a "substantial" amount of money from the Southern California Catholic school where they worked for decades and used it to pay for gambling trips to Las Vegas casinos.

Adrian Alarcon, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, said Monday the embezzlement appears to have gone on for about 10 years.

Parents at a Southern California Catholic school were stunned to learn that two of the school’s nuns are accused of embezzling.

During that time Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper was principal of Saint James Catholic School in Redondo Beach. Sister Lana Chang taught eighth grade there. Both retired earlier this year.

The nuns belong to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, which says both nuns have apologized and promised to make restitution.

5. This could be the basis for a sequel to the hit "Nude Nuns with Big Guns".

Rather then apologizing as the real nuns did, this (almost) based on actual events movie would have an ending like Thelma and Louise or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
