Catholic Diocese of Erie says “it is finalizing the parameters of its fund” and that the recently disclosed federal probe has created an “added financial burden.”
The Catholic Diocese of Erie has announced that it remains committed to setting up a compensation fund for victims of child sexual abuse, but said details of the plan will be forthcoming.
It also said it is dealing with the creation of the fund at the same time it is working through the “added financial burden” associated with the recently disclosed federal probe of the state’s eight Roman Catholic dioceses.
The diocese issued its announcement on the fund on Thursday, as other dioceses throughout the state released details about how their compensation funds will operate.
