A group of nuns in the Chicago area is suing a strip club next to their convent that they say is disturbing their peace with loud noise, glaring neon lights, fist fights and heaps of litter that include empty liquor bottles and used condoms.

The Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo Scalabrinians filed a lawsuit against Club Allure and the Village of Stone Park on Friday, complaining that the noise from the strip club keeps them awake at night and distracts them from praying. Plus, they say that they have witnessed drunken fights and found condoms littering the streets.

According to the suit, the club violates Illinois zoning laws against operating adult entertainment within 1,000 feet of a school or place of worship.

The sisters have seen "public violence, drunkenness and litter, including . empty whiskey and beer bottles, discarded contraceptive packages and products and even used condoms," according to the lawsuit, reports Fox News.

"The Sisters have every right to pray and work peacefully without disruption from a strip club in their backyard," said attorney Peter Breen in a statement on behalf of the nuns, according to Reuters.

The $3 million topless club opened in September 2013 across the back fence of the convent and near neighborhood houses. Three neighbors have also joined the suit.

Stone Park attorney Dean Krone said on Tuesday that the 1,000-foot buffer rule applies to most of the state, but a one-mile restriction applies to suburban Cook County, where Stone Park is located. As a result, he aruges that the Cook County limit is unconstitutional because it would prohibit all strip clubs in the small towns in the county, which would violate free speech protections.

Club representatives said that the club is not nuisance to the area.

"We spent an awful lot of money to make sure that this kind of thing would not occur," Club Allure manager Robert Itzkow told WMAQ-TV. "The whole thing is just a question of 'we don't like you; you don't conform to our religious beliefs."'

He added the adult dancers "aren't monsters. They're daughters; they're mothers, and some of them are Catholics too."
