New Name. Same Mission.

The mission of the Archdiocese of New York is to live and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The archdiocese serves 2.5 million Catholics and countless others across the New York City boroughs of Manhattan, Staten Island, and the Bronx, as well as the counties of Dutchess, Orange, Sullivan, Westchester, Ulster, Rockland, and Putnam. Each year, the generosity of thousands of faithful donors makes this mission possible through the archdiocese’s annual Appeal.

Beginning January 1, 2027, the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal will become the Archbishop’s Appeal for Catholic Ministries, a name that reflects what your generosity has always made possible: the Catholic ministries that bring Christ’s love to people throughout the Archdiocese of New York. The name and the look are changing, but the heart of the Appeal is not. It remains a critical part of the archdiocesan mission, sustaining the ministries, institutions, and outreach programs that serve thousands of individuals and families throughout New York.
