The Archdiocese of Hartford is scheduled to reveal Tuesday that it has paid $50.6 million to settle more than 140 priest sexual abuse claims made mostly by minors, including 20 credible allegations against one priest, according to information shared Monday with area clergy.

The archdiocese also will announce that it is hiring former state Judge Antonio Robaina to do an independent review of church records from 1953, when the archdiocese was formed, until now. Church officials, including Archbishop Leonard Blair, met with priests at the St. Thomas Seminary to share details of the report.

There will be 47 priests named who have either had civil lawsuits filed against them or have been the subject of claims that archdiocese officials deemed credible. Included are six priests from other dioceses who allegedly abused a child while assigned to Hartford and six priests from other religious orders.

Diocese spokeswoman Maria Zone declined to comment on what would be revealed Tuesday.

Priests who gathered Monday were informed that slightly more than half of the $50.6 million was paid by the church’s insurance carrier and that the rest came from the general fund. Of the 142 claims that were settled, about 84 percent involved allegations against nine priests.

One priest had 20 credible abuse claims against him that were settled for $10.7 million.

Almost all of the claims were for abuses that occurred before 1990, and $35 million was paid out to victims who were abused in the 1970s but didn’t file lawsuits until years later. The average payment was more than $356,000. While nearly all of the abuse allegations occurred before 1990, nearly all of the settlements weren’t resolved until after 2000.

The settlement figures for the Hartford Archdiocese are similar to what the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport announced a few months ago. Bridgeport officials said they had paid $52.5 million to settle 156 allegations of priest sexual abuse of children since 1953.

Blair also is following in the footsteps of Bridgeport by hiring a retired judge to conduct an independent review of the personnel files for all priests. Bridgeport hired former Judge Robert Holzberg to report on how it has handled allegations of sexual abuse. His report is due in the spring.

It is unclear what Robaina’s time frame for his report will be.

Most of the Hartford settlements were the result of negotiated resolutions between the archdiocese and victims or their survivors or their legal counsel. Other settlements were resolved using either judges or mediators. Only one case went to trial and the diocese had to pay $1.6 million — the largest payout of the 142 settlements.

In 2005 then-Archbishop Henry Mansell announced the archdiocese was going to pay 43 victims of priest sexual abuse a total of $22 million to settle pending lawsuits and threatened lawsuits. The settlement at the time was among the largest in the country and, even as that settlement was announced, church officials acknowledged it represented only a portion of abuse cases in the archdiocese. Sources said that half of that settlement was paid by the diocese’s insurance carrier.

Blair announced in December that the Hartford archdiocese would be doing an accountability report and releasing names of priests who had been credibly accused of sexual assault. Blair is one of many bishops across the country that have ordered such a report.

In October, a 1,400-page grand jury report by Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Josh Shapiro named at least 300 priests accused of child sex abuse by more than 1,000 victims throughout the state going back about 30 years. Shapiro called it a “systematic cover-up by senior church officials in Pennsylvania and at the Vatican.” Its release rekindled the priest sexual abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic Church a decade ago.
