settlements from the Catholic church.
The victim compensation program offered through the Catholic Diocese of Syracuse
is nearing its conclusion after about seven months. Victims have
started to receive and accept financial offers in Syracuse and across
the state.
Program administrator Camille Biros said in five New York dioceses,
there were 1,262 claims. From that, 1,133 offers were made. As of
