We are encouraging all parishes to
participate in the national postcard campaign,
sponsored by the United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops, to stop the "Freedom of Choice
Act" (FOCA). We are also facing the threat
of the similar Reproductive Health Act (RHAPP)
in our New York State Legislature. As a
result, our postcards are designed to address
both these bills, and any similar measure that
would expand abortion rights.
The postcard campaign is designed to be run on
the weekend of March 28 and 29. Please
download and use the following resources to run
the campaign.
Letter from the Vicar General outlining
the campaign.
Instructions (including bulletin blurbs
in English & Spanish) for the campaign.

The most effective tool we have to influence our
legislators is the
Catholic Advocacy Network. It can
provide you with up-to-date information about
legislative issues, and an opportunity to send
emails, letters or faxes to your legislator.
Please sign up now!
