The Diocese of Ogdensburg has doled out millions of dollars to victims of clergy sexual abuse.
The diocese released its report Tuesday on what’s called the Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program (IRCP).
In it, the diocese says as of last week it paid a total of nearly $5.5 million to 37 victims. Two more are considering whether to accept compensation.
“It was the right thing to do – another way of expressing our sorrow and our regret over what had happened,” said Bishop Terry LaValley.
