June 24, 2022 – The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending federal abortion protections. We encourage you to read the statements from the bishop of our Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens and the bishops of New York State on Dobbs v. Jackson. Please speak with one of our priests if you have questions about how the church intends to fulfill its pledge:
Pledge from the NYS Catholic Bishops
“Any woman—regardless of age, religious belief or affiliation, marital status or immigration status—who is pregnant and in need, can come to the Catholic Church and we will give you the services and supports you need to carry your baby to term, regardless of your ability to pay.”
