To honor Pope Francis’ memory, Catholic schools across the archdiocese will observe a Week of Prayer and Reflection beginning Monday, April 28, 2025.

The planned $150 million payout does not include contributions from insurance companies, with which the diocese is in "active mediation" to determine a final amount.

Prior to the death of Pope Francis, the Archdiocese of New York had already planned to be in Rome for a pilgrimage for the Holy Year, the 2025 Jubilee.
