The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis was found to be on track with carrying out a settlement plan designed to protect children during a Tuesday review hearing in Ramsey County District Court.
Archdiocese and Ramsey County officials reached a settlement in December calling for an “aggressive” timeline to implement “substantial” changes — including a new child-protection plan and protocols, Ramsey County Chief Judge Teresa Warner said.
“There’s no doubt the reason for this settlement is to protect our children,” Warner said. “For the next several years, it’s going to be our North Star, the guiding principle. It’s a good agreement and it’s there for the right reasons.”
