Statement: Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Fund Timeline Update

Bishop David Zubik’s pastoral letter,  The Church Healing,  dated March 6, 2019, stated that an update regarding the amount disbursed through the Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Fund, without identifying the recipients, would be released by January 1, 2020. The process of fund distribution has extended beyond what was initially expected, and in fact, continues. As a result, no final figures are yet available. The diocese will release that information as soon as the process is complete and we receive final numbers.
