Development: Renew + Rebuild Update
The Archdiocese of New York’s Renew + Rebuild campaign was launched four years ago with safety and longevity in mind. Funding priorities directly impact our parishes, supporting individual parish improvement projects, Catholic schools, clergy, evangelization and lay leadership formation. The challenges of the coronavirus pandemic demonstrate more than ever the value of our investment in the Renew + Rebuild priorities.
As you know, the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal is our primary focus for the first half of the calendar year – thank you for your diligent efforts! With many of our parishes approaching an impressive 65% of their Cardinal’s Appeal goals, we will begin conversations with those parishes about Renew + Rebuild pledge redemption. While parishes are no longer actively soliciting new donations for Renew + Rebuild, the Development team continues its final phase of pledge redemption to ensure pledge fulfillment remains on schedule and parishioners are properly thanked for their generous gifts.
We know our pastors have established close relationships with their parishioners, and appreciate your collaboration as we determine which strategies will be most effective to benefit your parish and ministries.
If you would like to participate in Summer or Fall Renew + Rebuild activity or have any specific questions about pledge redemption, please contact your campaign manager or email [email protected] by May 30.

Respect Life: Care & Prepare: End-of-Life Education
It is critically important for parishioners to understand Catholic teaching on end-of-life care as they face difficult decisions. Many Catholics are unaware of the practical tools and helps available to them. “Care & Prepare” is a 30-minute educational video produced by the Archdiocese of New York which offers a comprehensive education on end-of-life ethics and practical ways to prepare. Please share these videos with your parishioners and consider hosting a parish event to view them together.
Respect Life: Bill Targeting Pregnancy Centers
On April 19th, the New York State Assembly Health Committee voted to advance A5499/S470, a bill intended to conduct a “study” of pro-life pregnancy centers. The bill would enable the Health Commissioner to subpoena pro-life centers and force them to produce an overwhelming volume of data and reports. The pre-determined outcome of the “study” is to find the centers “limited” because they do not provide abortion or abortion referrals.
Ask your parishioners to take action to protect pregnancy centers and the valuable work they do in offering women real help in times of crisis. Click here to contact your legislators and urge them to oppose this bill.
