Some Roman Catholic parishes in Nova Scotia are being told to contribute to a historic settlement for survivors of sexual abuse.

Parish councils within the Diocese of Antigonish were told they must contribute to the $15-million settlement, but contributions will be based on what each can afford.

The settlement was announced Aug. 7, about a year after a class-action suit was filed by a Sydney man seeking compensation for himself and others who were sexually abused by priests in the northeastern Nova Scotia diocese from 1950 to the present.
