The archdiocese filed for bankruptcy nearly three years ago amid a large number of allegations of sexual abuse.
The archdiocese filed for bankruptcy nearly three years ago amid a large number of allegations of sexual abuse.
The complicated case stems from a group of parishes who object to the diocese’s requirement that they pay huge portions of cash into the diocese’s $150-million clergy-abuse settlement even as they wait for the Vatican to hear their appeal concerning a diocesan merger plan.
Rockville Centre is one of six in the state to have declared bankruptcy; only the Archdiocese of New York and the Diocese of Brooklyn have not filed for bankruptcy.
The diocese during February 2020 started an Independent Reconciliation Program to offer help to alleged minor sexual abuse victims through an independent arbiter.
