The Archdiocese of Milwaukee is launching a national advertising campaign to notify sex-abuse victims of their deadline to file claims.

The archdiocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January after it failed to reach a settlement with two dozen victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy. The campaign is required by the bankruptcy.

The campaign begins today and includes ads in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Chicago Tribune and USA Today.

Victims of clergy, staff, teachers, other church employees or volunteers have until Feb. 1 to file claims against the church. The deadline for general claims not related to sexual abuse is Oct. 17.
