Archbishop Aymond announces memorandum of understanding

NEW ORLEANS ( WGNO ) — Archbishop Gregory Aymond announced a memorandum of understanding that he says could bring the Archdiocese’s bankruptcy to a close.

Aymond says the MOI is with the “Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors,” a group that represents survivors of sex abuse in their claims against the Catholic Church.

Aymond did not release any details of the agreement and adds the plan must still be confirmed in federal bankruptcy court.

He says he hopes it will lead to healing for local survivors, churches and the Archdiocese.
