New York Archdiocese Agrees $800m Abuse Settlement
The Archdiocese of New York has agreed to pay around $800 million to approximately 1,300 survivors of sexual abuse by clergy members and lay workers, according to attorneys and the archdiocese. The settlement, reported on 24–25 October 2026, is one of the largest clergy abuse payouts in the United States and may allow the archdiocese to avoid bankruptcy. It follows an $880 million settlement by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 2024.
