A Message from Bonni Shippee, Diocesan Chancellor: Update on St. Clare's Pension Case

 

We have learned that Joseph Pofit and Bishop Scharfenberger have filed for bankruptcy yesterday, postponing a hearing on punitive damages in the St. Clare’s matter.

 

Each reached their decision independently on the advice of their attorneys.

 

We continue to monitor the proceedings and have great concern for all involved.
