A Credit Union Task Force has guided the creation of an independent, federally accredited credit union to support our parishes, parishioners, and participants in our programs across the Diocese of New York.
It will open banking services to the underserved, while providing low-cost emergency loans and financial counseling. It will be independent and financially responsible.
Through a national online network, communities across the Diocese will be able to access basic services locally, in their own neighborhoods.
