In advance of the confirmation hearing scheduled for 4/28/25, the Committee achieved several settlements with the insurance companies that were opposing the plan. At this time, the total amount of the insurance settlements is approximately $61 million. Along with the Diocese’s and parishes’ contributions, the total amount the Trust will be funded by at this time is approximately $161 million.

At the confirmation hearing, the Diocese and Committee presented their affirmative case and asked the Court to reserve ruling until 5/14 so that it could continue to work toward a resolution with non-settling insurance company Travelers and to resolve the United States Trustee’s objection to confirmation.

The Committee is hopeful that those issues can be resolved by 5/14 so that the plan can be confirmed as soon as possible. An update will be posted to this website after the 5/14 hearing.
