MILWAUKEE —The Archdiocese of Milwaukee will file documents Wednesday to outline their plan to emerge from bankruptcy.
Officials at the Archdiocesan office tell WISN 12 news that the documents are expected to be filed Wednesday morning.
Archbishop Jerome Listecki said last month that the reorganization plan would include a therapy fund for all survivors of clergy sexual abuse.
In documents released Wednesday, the Plan of Reorganization establishes:
* $500,000 therapy fund to provide lifetime therapy payments to those abused by priests
* Provides financial settlements for abuse survivors with eligible claims
* Outlines an operational plan for the archdiocese to continue its ministry in the community
* Affirms commitment to prevention of child sexual abuse within the church
* Ensures no priest with substantiated allegations of sexual abuse of a minor can ever serve in public ministry within the archdiocese
WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott sat down with Archbishop Listecki Wednesday morning. Watch for his interview tonight on WISN 12 News.
