2016 Financial Report
FINANCIAL SERVICES REPORT Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW YORK Dear fr iends in the Lord, Our beloved Archdiocese of New York encompasses ten coun- ties and a wide variety of people whose participation enriches our parishes, schools, apostolates of charity, and so many organiza- tions in our communities, large and small. We are blessed to be drawn together by our faith and the commitment to live it fully. In these unsett led times, I am inspired by the dedication of the men and women who off er their time, talent, and treasure to advance the kingdom of God here in our corner of New York. Th is is the eighth time that I have presented a fi nancial report to describe the far-reaching activities of our central offi ces. Please read it carefully. It refl ects the dedicated eff orts of priests, deacons, religious, and faithful to serve the almost three million Catholics in our archdiocese. Th ese include employees and volunteers of parishes, schools, catechetical programs, Saint Joseph’s Seminary, and charitable initiatives on behalf of our less fortunate broth- ers and sisters in the Lord. Of course, many of our outreach programs extend to those who do not share our faith, such as the selfl ess work of Catholic Charities, which this year is celebrating its centennial. For a century, the over ninety affi liated agencies of our Catholic Charities federation have helped children, families, vulnerable adults, immigrants, refugees, and others who need a compassionate, helping hand. Similarly, our ArchCare program provides continuing health care for people of all ages and faiths at home, in the parishes.
