## Resource

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg is rolling out a bold $83 million settlement plan to resolve clergy abuse lawsuits and exit bankruptcy — a massive leap from its prior $45 million offer. The diocese, along with 85 parishes, will contribute cash and insurance proceeds to fund payouts for at least 125 survivors. Bishop Terry LaValley says this temporary Chapter 11 strategy, modeled after successful cases elsewhere, is the only viable path forward — with parishes in bankruptcy for just 48 hours to handle abuse claims alone. If approved by the court, survivors could start receiving payments soon, helping the diocese avoid even steeper legal costs down the road.
