The fate of a children’s home is the subject of a lawsuit against the Diocese of St. Cloud in Minnesota by the diocese’s Catholic Charities affiliate, which fears the diocese’s planned bankruptcy could disrupt services at the facility.

“We continue to support the mission of Catholic Charities, and we know they continue to support the mission and ministries of the diocese,” Joseph Towalski, director of the Office of Communications at the Diocese of St. Cloud, told CNA July 11. “We believe the complaint will be properly resolved through the judicial process.”

Towalski said the complaint is under review by legal counsel and the diocese would not comment on it at this time.
