About this facility
- Mission
- The New York State Catholic Conference represents the Bishops of New York State in matters of Public Policy. The role of the Conference is to seek justice, fairness and charity for all, with a particular emphasis on the poor and vulnerable. Our positions transcend political platforms or ideologies. The Conference is neither Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. Our positions are based on the principles of Catholic social teaching and recognition of the innate dignity of every human person made in the image and likeness of God. The Conference advocates for the agenda of the Bishops as it relates to state government. We seek to work in partnership with the state to fashion public policies that respect the human person from conception until natural death. Our positions and statements are made with malice toward none and charity toward all.

From the public NYVOAD Member Directory:
Organizational Structure
The New York State Catholic Conference represents the Bishops of the eight dioceses of New York State in matters of public policy. In the human service arena, the expertise, experience and advice of the Council of Catholic Charities Directors guides the Conference. The Catholic Church is the largest non-profit provider of education, health care and human services in the state. Catholic Charities programs exist in all eight dioceses to provide services to people in need. Our Catholic tradition compels us to help fashion a more just world that upholds the dignity of every individual and to serve those in need.
Disaster Program
The NYS Catholic Conference represents the Roman Catholic Bishops of the eight New York State Dioceses in matters of Public Policy. In each of the diocese there is a Catholic Charities Organization that makes decisions regarding disaster relief on a case by case basis. Local parishes are also involved in providing direct services in response to disasters. Matching grants for large scale disasters may be obtained from the National Catholic Disaster Relief Office.
