Meeting the Challenges of a New School Year
My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord,
The summer months of July and August are fast coming to a close and the new academic year is about to begin here in Brooklyn and Queens.
Another School Year
As we conclude another academic year in our Catholic schools and academies, we should stop and thank God for the blessings that He has truly bestowed on us as a Diocese in Brooklyn and Queens.
Teachers Honored for Their Years of Service

Eye on Albany

St. Mary Gate of Heaven Students Know Their Rights

State Needs to Protect College Tuition Program
Catholic education in New York State traces its roots back to the first half of the 19th century, and continues to be a vital part of the fabric of our state, preparing children and young adults for success in life, providing a world-class education while grounding them in the Catholic tradition of selfless service to their fellow men and women.
