The Diocese of Rockville Centre extended its deadline for those wishing to enter into its Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program, which was set up in October to compensate survivors of sexual abuse by members of the clergy.
Victims who had previously notified the diocese that they had suffered abuse by a member of the clergy were invited to participate in Phase One of the program, and were required to submit paperwork by Dec. 31. The new deadline is Jan. 31.
