As Coronavirus worsens all around the world, Monsignor Ritchie speaks with NBC News on how to keep our spiritual community strong and safe during this difficult time.

Before the sound of traffic locked horns with the music of church bells, and before the building tops soared above its spires, Saint Patrick's Cathedral was the only skyscraper in town. Nothing says Ireland like the Emerald Isle's patron Saint Patrick. And nothing says New York like St. Patrick's Cathedral, where Irish immigrants to America first brought their devotion to the saint from Ireland to New York.

I join my fellow New Yorkers, both Catholic and non-Catholic, in denouncing the tragic decision of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislators in passing and celebrating the Reproductive Health Act. This act is taking the termination of unborn children to a new level of depravity.

Words are insufficient to describe the profound sadness we feel at the contemplated passage of New York State’s new proposed abortion policy. We mourn the unborn infants who will lose their lives, and the many mothers and fathers who will suffer remorse and heartbreak as a result.
