SACRAMENTO – When the Stockton Diocese electronically files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today, it will set in motion a series of deadlines that will take most of this year to play out.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Stockton – the 10th diocese in the nation to file for bankruptcy – represents 250,000 people in 35 parishes and 14 missions. It covers six counties, including San Joaquin and Calaveras, and employs 88 priests.
It was founded in 1962 out of what had been territory within the Archdiocese of San Francisco and the Diocese of Sacramento.
The Stockton Diocese is being represented by the Capitol Mall-based bankruptcy law firm Felderstein Fitzgerald Willoughby & Pascuzzi.
