Few organizations were as well-equipped to respond to the needs of the community at the peak of the pandemic as the Catholic Church, but the work is far from over. The geographic reach of the archdiocese coupled with the existing network of parishes and charitable organizations meant that we had a presence in most neighborhoods in three of the boroughs of New York, and all the way from Staten Island to Dutchess, Sullivan, and Ulster counties. We are able to serve not only the faithful, but our neighbors and all who approach our church doors in their time of need with spiritual, physical, and medical support.
