"We are on the verge of being able to, please God, bring some measure of healing and reconciliation to all victim-survivors," New York Archbishop Ronald Hicks wrote in an email to clergy confirming the settlement.

"This agreement will also allow the archdiocese to turn its full attention once again to its mission of preaching the Gospel, healing the sick, caring for the poor and needy, welcoming the stranger, and educating our children," he added.

Hicks was appointed by the US-born Pope Leo in December 2025, replacing conservative Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Before leaving the post, Dolan had started a process of creating a $300 million fund to compensate victims of sexual abuse.
