Long Island diocese sells headquarters amid bankruptcy
March 27, 2021 GMT
ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (AP) The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre has sold its headquarters for $5.2 million money church officials say will be used to pay creditors.
Newsday reports the diocese became the largest in the country last year to declare bankruptcy amid more than 200 lawsuits it faced under New York State’s Child Victims Act.
The law opened a so-called lookback window since extended until August that allows childhoods victims of sexual abuse to file civil claims beyond statute of limitations restrictions.
