Archdiocese to launch ads informing victims of deadline to file claims

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee will launch a national advertising campaign on Sunday to notify sex abuse victims of their deadline to file claims as part of its bankruptcy, the archdiocese said Friday.

Victims of clergy, staff, teachers, other church employees or volunteers have until Feb. 1 to file claims against the church.

The campaign that begins Sunday will include ads in the Journal Sentinel, the Chicago Tribune and USA Today.

The advertising campaign is required by the bankruptcy, which acts as a final call for claims against a debtor.

The deadline for general claims not related to sexual abuse is Oct. 17.
