Required Announcement on Financial Integrity Hotline
The Archdiocese of New York is committed to safeguarding the stewardship of its people. As part of that effort, we periodically write to the Catholic community to advise them about whom they may contact and what steps they can take if they have suspicion of financial impropriety.
Annual Election of Lay Trustees for Parishes
Every year in June, we ask priests for help with the annual election of two lay trustees to serve their church. This is necessary to ensure that every parish corporation in the archdiocese is complying with the New York State Religious Corporation Law which offers many benefits.
Adult Faith Formation Office

The Archdiocesan Adult Confirmation Program will present an overview of the essentials of the Catholic faith. Through presentations, group discussion, reflection and prayer, the sessions will cover Sacred Scripture and Tradition, the Creed, prayer and spirituality, the Church, Catholic social teaching and the meaning of the sacrament of Confirmation.
