The Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, New York

The Albany Diocese case remains in an active, litigation- and mediation-heavy Chapter 11, with the debtor continuing ordinary operations while committees, insurers, pension advisers, and professionals work through abuse-claim, insurance, pension, and plan issues rather than a confirmed plan path. The latest operating snapshot shows the debtor still funding the case estate and professional process: April 2026 receipts were $1.64 million against $2.24 million of disbursements, cumulative postpetition professional fees paid had reached $11.45 million, and the debtor reported no non-ordinary-course asset sales during the month in its April 2026 monthly operating reportDkt. 2619.

The Diocese filed Chapter 11 on March 15, 2023, after New York’s Child Victims Act reopened limitations periods and produced 440 CVA actions against the Diocese before the petition date. Its first-day record framed the case as a claims-resolution and survivor-compensation proceeding intended to maximize assets for abuse survivors, administer claims through a fair process, provide certainty for unresolved claims, and preserve diocesan ministries serving Catholics and social-service recipients across upstate New York through the petition-support declarationDkt. 6. The CFO declaration supplied the operating baseline: as of December 31, 2022, the Diocese reported $37.7 million of assets, $10.3 million of liabilities, 75 employees, investment pools held through diocesan structures, and a $4.3 million Trustco Bank letter of credit securing workers’ compensation obligations in the operations and balance-sheet declarationDkt. 7.
