The Catholic Diocese of Northern Alaska will file for reorganization under federal bankruptcy law, Bishop Donald Kettler announced in a news release this evening.

The news is the latest blow for an institution still facing numerous sexual abuse claims filed in court by Alaska Natives.

Kettler said in the release that the Chapter 11 bankrtuptcy filing will likely take place in the next five weeks. He said he made the decision after reflecting on the needs of those abused by church workers.
