St. John the Baptist Church Fire Update September 5, 2025

9/5/2025

​How is the insurance claim being handled for St. John the Baptist Church fire?
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati is self-insured and employs Gallagher Bassett as their Third Party Administrator to manage most insurance claims.  For catastrophic losses exceeding $500,000, the Archdiocese has excess insurance coverage in the commercial market, with Sedgwick serving as the claims administrator for these complex, high-value claims.  
Insurance payouts are categorized into distinct areas.  The first category covers mitigation costs, which include all the work done on St. John Church to date, i.e. fencing and securing the site, removing the bells and large debris with cranes, and crews to clean the debris out of church.  These mitigation expenses are separate from and do not reduce the funds available for repairing or rebuilding the church.  There is a category to repair or rebuild the church and a separate category for church contents.  There are additional categories for the rectory repair and rectory contents.
