JULY 8, 2018

Archdiocese of New York

Dear friend:

Often the best way to hear good news is straight from the source. And we have really good news for you!

Recently, the Archdiocese of New York launched a quarterly magazine. Archways, to keep you informed about the programs and services we have to offer you and all Catholics in our 10 counties. Our second edition has just been published, and the focus is on our families. In it, you’ll find a roundup of services the archdiocese provides, including:

Support for parents, from birth and baptism to graduation and beyond Marriage preparation and guidance Great family volunteer opportunities Expert answers about our Catholic faith

We publish Archways four times per year: online at www.archny.org/archways and - if you are a contributor to the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal - you will receive it twice per year in print.

You can count on every issue not only to look at what is going on around our archdiocese but also to encourage participation and involvement for the betterment of our parishes, schools and charitable endeavors.

I hope that you will look forward to each new edition and that you’ll come away more informed about what we can accomplish together in service of Jesus and His Church.

Faithfully in Christ,

Rev. Msgr. Gregory Mustaciuolo Vicar General and Chancellor

Archdiocese of New York
