The Bishop Thomas Burke Society
"Bishop Burke has a twinkle in his eye and a
zest for living that enhanced his appealing Irish charm."
Under the dynamic leadership of Bishop
Thomas Burke, the Diocese of Albany ventured into the twentieth century,
aggressively expanding the ministries, health care programs and
educational institutions that continue to meet the spiritual and
temporal needs of the faithful.
Bishop Burke's impact upon the region was so profound that when he died
in 1915, both houses of the New York State Legislature and the county
court adjourned out of respect for his passing.
We invite you to celebrate Bishop Burke's generosity of spirit and
wisdom by joining the Bishop Thomas Burke Society.
Become a part of the Burke Society.

The 1847 Society
On April 23,
1847, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany was established by Pope Pius
IX. We invite you to join us in marking this historical day, by joining
our new giving group, The 1847 Society.
We are
called upon not only to continue the work of the Church - but to enlarge
and increase it - to lay new foundations broader and deeper - to plant
seed for larger growth - that the tree’s branches may spread out - that
you and your children may sit beneath its shade and partake of its
refreshing fruit.
