NEW ULM — The Diocese of New Ulm filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, Jeff Anderson & Associates PA announced today in a press release.
The Diocese of New Ulm is the 16th Catholic Diocese or Religious Order to file for bankruptcy in the United States.
In 2015, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the Diocese of Duluth filed for bankruptcy protection as well. Both cases are still pending in bankruptcy court.
“The bankruptcy filing does not stop the pursuit of justice for sexual abuse survivors,” Attorney Mike Finnegan said in the press release. “Survivors will continue to seek truth and accountability in the bankruptcy process.”
