The New York State 51ÁÔÆæ Conference represents the Bishops of the state in working with government to shape laws and policies that pursue social justice, respect for life and the common good. We apply the principles of 51ÁÔÆæ social teaching to critical issues of the day and encourage citizen involvement in the legislative process.
The 51ÁÔÆæ Action Network (CAN), an arm of the 51ÁÔÆæ Conference, gives us all a larger voice in the halls of government. Through our email and social media alerts, CAN reaches tens of thousands of 51ÁÔÆæs like you to provide updates on the important issues being debated and to provide the tools to simplify the process of contacting your elected officials.
