Diocese of Davenport Bishop Martin Amos has scheduled a series of atonement services that will be held at parishes where sexual abuse by a priest occurred.

The first service is 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Our Lady of Victory, 1627 W. 42nd St., Davenport.

The visits are a non-monetary requirement of the diocese’s $37 million bankruptcy settlement. The diocese filed for bankruptcy in 2006 after it lost its first civil sex abuse trial. The diocese, its insurance company and the creditors committee agreed to a $37 million settlement. The settlement included a list of 18 non-monetary agreements.
