CALL TO ACTION - Under NYS law, children with disabilities are entitled to the same services provided by their local school district regardless of whether they attend a public school or a religious & independent school. Moreover, all parents are entitled to the same “due process” rights when challenging the school district provision of services. The NYS Board of Regents, however, continues to consider a regulation that would eliminate these due process rights of parents who enroll their children in Catholic and other independent or religious schools. Legislation has been introduced to prevent the Regents from adopting their proposal, but we need your help in getting the legislation enacted. Add your voice to help protect the rights of Catholic school families!

NYS Catholic Conference Call to Action
🇺🇸🙏 Second graders in Mrs. Wojtaszek's class have been learning about Memorial Day, its origins, & the importance of honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Prayer for Memorial Day from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops:
God of power and mercy, you destroy war and put down earthly pride. Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears, that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters. Keep in your mercy those men and women who have died in the cause of freedom and bring them safely into your kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord. R/. Amen
