Catholic Conference
Dear Parents,
The Catholic School Network, which consists of hundreds
of parents in Catholic schools around New York State,
has been active for several years. Coordinated by the
Catholic Conference in Albany, the CSN has been seeking
funding from the government to help parents pay for
children’s education and to expand transportation,
technology, technology, teacher training and
instructional services in our schools.
However, a greater effort is needed for our voice to
affect change. It is for this reason that the Catholic
Conference has launched a new and exciting statewide
Catholic Advocacy Network. The new network will not
replace the CSN but will allow the nearly 200,000
families whose children are in Catholic Schools in New
York State to be informed about and speak out on other
critical issues beyond those related to education.
I strongly encourage you to join the network. You can do
so by simply visiting the NYS Catholic Conference
website at: www.nyscatholic.org and click on “Join the
Network” or by mailing the attached coupon to Catholic
Advocacy Network, NYS Catholic Conference, 465 State
Street, Albany New York 12203. Feel free to choose any
of the interested areas, but please at least check the
education box. Please encourage at least your network to
join but also as many of the parents in your school and
parish.
You can also visit the Legislative Action Center on the
Catholic Conference’s website which will enable you to
instantly view “Action Alerts,” find your legislator
through a zip code lookup, e-mail or write on many
critical issues and monitor important legislation.
Directing your child’s education is a fundamental right
and responsibility which should be supported by
government. Be an active member of the Catholic Advocacy
Network and help bring about the many needed changes to
New York’s laws.
Thank you for considering to join this Catholic Advocacy
Network. Most of the information for the next writing
campaign for the Catholic School Network will be coming
through this new Catholic Advocacy Network.
