VOTE NO ON PROPOSAL 1
A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING
On November 5, faithful citizens will have the opportunity once again to exercise their sacred right to vote. Pope Francis has reminded us that as thoughtful Catholics, we must participate in the public square for the sake of the common good. Every Catholic is called to do the work of properly informing his or her conscience and voting for candidates and policies that will best advance the natural law, the protection of human rights, the dignity of the human person, the sacredness of all life, and the teachings of Christ and His Church. It is a presidential election year, and there are important votes to be cast for Congress and the state Legislature as well. Importantly, in New York, like several other states, there is also a critical referendum on the ballot.
Educating oneself will be especially important in the case of Proposal 1, sometimes referred to as the “Equal Rights Amendment.” The title suggests a noble cause, as all children of God should be treated equally under the law. However, this proposed amendment to the state Constitution is broadly written and could have dangerous consequences if enacted, which is why we oppose it and urge you to vote no. The measure would, effectively, permanently legalize abortion without restriction and up until the moment of birth in New York. Aside from being redundant in a state that already has stripped away all abortion limitations, the amendment would render impossible any change to the law if the hearts and minds of New Yorkers were ever to shift toward protecting the child in the womb.
Proposal 1 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing that could lead to darkness for many New York families. This amendment disregards the lives of unborn and struggling children in the name of political agendas. It could have dangerous consequences for these children and their parents. As they look to make their voices heard in the public square, faithful Catholics should consider these consequences and vote no. Likewise, they should thoughtfully vote their informed conscience up and down the ballot so that we might usher in change for good.
SECOND COLLECTION TODAY NOVEMBER 3rd
This November, we celebrate the shared journey between Resurrection Parish and Part of the Solution (POTS), a community-based nonprofit organization fighting poverty and hunger in The Bronx.
For more than 42 years, this extraordinary collaboration has flourished, a testament to the power of faith, unity, and commitment to service for our brothers and sisters in need. Our shared mission remains unchanged: to be beacons of hope, compassion, and love.
Our friends at POTS want to thank all the parish members for their continuous support. Your kind donations and spreading the word about Part of the Solution have improved lives every single day.

This week, November 3 - 9, 2024, is National Vocation Awareness Week. This annual celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States is dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education.
In recognition of this special week, please remember to keep our seminarians and clergy in your prayers, and to take the opportunity to thank your parish priests for their extraordinary service to our Church. If you wish, please click the button below to create a message of gratitude for a special priest in your life.
Thank you for your support of vocations in the Archdiocese of New York. Your contributions to the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal helps to fund our Office of Vocations, which inspires men to discover the unique call to Holy Orders. Your gifts also sustain St. Joseph’s Seminary, where those who have answered the call receive their formation. The future of the Church in New York is brighter because of you.
TODAYS GOSPEL
Mark 12:28 b-34
One of the scribes asked Jesus which commandment is the first, and he replied that the first is to love and honor the Lord and no one else. Jesus explained that they must love God with all their heart, and love their neighbor. The scribe agreed that loving God completely and loving one's neighbor is better than any sacrifice they could make.
