CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA & CATHOLIC COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN

It is a splendid tribute to the commitment of the Catholic faithful to the best in academic training and religious formation for our young people. The Catholic Communications Campaign serves all of the Catholic archdiocese and dioceses of our nation by producing outstanding spiritual programs for radio and television alike. One half of your gift will sustain the campaign and the other half will assist us here in the Archdiocese of New York in our Communications Office.
