The Archdiocese of New York agreed on October 24, 2026, to pay $800 million to resolve sexual abuse claims brought by roughly 1,300 survivors, according to NPR and ABC News.
The survivors, former parishioners in New York, alleged abuse carried out by clergy members and lay workers. All 1,300 accepted the settlement terms, NPR reported, with an attorney representing some of the plaintiffs confirming the agreement.
ABC News said the deal resolves the survivors' legal claims against the Archdiocese in full.
