Faith compels us to reject the abject evil of racism and white supremacy, —to say no to terror, and no to the intent to silence Black and Brown voices. Video message from Bishop Fisher: bit.ly/3LsfkAa

Following is a joint statement by Timothy Cardinal Dolan and the Bishops of New York State on Governor Hochul’s announcement that she will sign the physician-assisted suicide bill passed earlier this year by the legislature: “We are extraordinarily troubled by Governor Hochul’s announcement that she will sign the egregious bill passed by the legislature earlier this year sanctioning physician-assisted suicide in New York State. This new law signals our government’s abandonment of its most vulnerable citizens, telling people who are sick or disabled that suicide in their case is not only acceptable, but is encouraged by our elected leaders. Tragically, this new law will seriously undermine all of the anti-suicide and mental health care investments Governor Hochul has made through her tenure. How can any society have credibility to tell young people or people with depression that suicide is never the answer, while at the same time telling elderly and sick people that it is a compassionate choice to be celebrated? “While physician-assisted suicide will soon be legal here in New York, we must clearly reiterate that it is in direct conflict with Catholic teaching on the sacredness and dignity of all human life from conception until natural death and is a grave moral evil on par with other direct attacks on human life. We call on Catholics and all New Yorkers to reject physician-assisted suicide for themselves, their loved ones, and those in their care. And we pray that our state turn away from its promotion of a Culture of Death and invest instead in life-affirming, compassionate hospice and palliative care, which is seriously underutilized.”

On November 12, 2025, and for the first time in 12 years, the U.S. bishops issued a Special Message addressing their concern for the evolving situation impacting immigrants in the United States. Collectively, the bishops have invoked this particularly urgent way of speaking as a body of bishops. Here, some of those bishops come together to give voice to the message, which advocates for a meaningful reform of immigration laws and the recognition of the fundamental dignity of all persons, including immigrants. youtube.com/watch?v=nsMQ8V…

“We rightly remember and honor all who, as President Lincoln described, have given ‘the last full measure of devotion’ in service to their country and for the cause of liberty. We also honor the men and women who serve in our own time, (1/3)

I assured His Holiness that we, too, would keep him constantly in prayer. It was a special delight to present the gift of a personalized Buffalo Bills jersey to our first American pontiff, and he expressed his gratitude for this symbol of hometown pride.” (5/5)

Today the Holy Father released Dilexi Te (“I Have Loved You”), his first Apostolic Exhortation on love for the poor. In this new document, Pope Leo XIV reminds us that faith and love for the poor cannot be separated. He invites the Church to make a preferential option for the poor, not as an act of charity alone but as an essential part of our encounter with Christ. May Dilexi Te inspire us to see Christ in those who suffer and to walk with them in solidarity and hope.

This October, as we contemplate with Mary the mysteries of Christ our Savior, let us deepen our prayer for peace, which should become concrete solidarity with people tormented by war. I thank the many children around the world who are praying the #HolyRosary for this intention. #1MillionChildrenPraying @ACN_int

Happy birthday, Blessed Mother! Today, we commemorate the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Church has celebrated Mary's birth since at least the 6th century and is one of only 3 nativities in the liturgical calendar. Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. 🙏
