The Official Committee of Survivors in the Diocese of Sacramento bankruptcy, advocating for all Survivors, will be returning to mediation with the Diocese soon.  Mediation is an important component of the bankruptcy process and allows the parties, with the involvement of an experienced Mediator, to explain their viewpoints and hopefully make further progress toward a settlement. 

The Official Committee continues to be involved in all facets of the bankruptcy process, including mediation, and is committed to the best financial settlement possible for all Survivors.  The Committee knows that Survivors want resolution but also understands we need to push hard for fairness on the financial side and make sure that the Diocese puts in place the best youth protection measures possible to protect children in the future.

Please note that mediation follows strict confidentiality measures so it is not possible to release much information publicly until the parties agree on any settlement issues.  The Official Committee will continue to update this website with any developments that may be shared.  Survivors, if represented by legal counsel, should discuss with their attorneys any questions related to their individual case. 

Questions about the bankruptcy process in general may be directed to the Committee legal professionals, Stinson LLP, via sacramentosurvivorteam@stinson.com.  Every message to Stinson will receive a reply.
