Public Policy Committee

As Catholics, we are called to love our neighbor. Our response to those in need can take the form of direct assistance: food, clothing, housing, or provision of appropriate counseling and treatment services. But we are also called to address underlying issues which prevent people from achieving their full potential.

In the Diocese of Rochester, our efforts at advocacy are coordinated by the Diocesan Public Policy Committee (DPPC). The DPPC advises the Bishop on public policy matters, meets with legislators, and works to encourage parish participation in social justice advocacy. We address issues at the local, state, national and international levels.

CRS Campaign - July

We are each called to be stewards of this beautiful land that God has entrusted to us. Celebrate the Feast of Saint Kateri, patroness of ecology, this month by urging Congress to protect programs that help people care for their land and feed their families. Share your voice and ensure the world becomes a better place for all those who are vulnerable!


Join us for a fun conversation with CRS parents about the questions they get about #Lent from their kids. We'll answer them & show you how to virtually travel around the world to experience Lent as a family with #CRSRiceBowl.
