NEW YORK, November 13, 2026 — Saint Basil Academy today filed for a court-supervised financial reorganization. The Academy has stated that the filing responds to five lawsuits brought under New York’s Child Victims Act concerning events alleged to have occurred four decades ago.
The Archdiocese is also named as a defendant in these lawsuits by virtue of its affiliation with the Academy, a separately incorporated institution. The Archdiocese will continue to respond to them through the legal process, including participation in the Academy’s reorganization as appropriate, in an effort to bring about a fair resolution.
The Archdiocese recognizes the lasting harm caused by sexual abuse and approaches every report with compassion and resolve. Its commitment to zero tolerance for sexual abuse is reflected in its Policies for the Safety of Children and Youth and Policy on Conduct by Clergy.
