Shrinking Priesthood Sparks New York Advertising Campaign
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York launches a $100,000 nationwide ad drive to recruit priests amid shrinking numbers. Ads feature Father John O Leary and depict the priest’s work with prisoners at The Tombs, stressing vocation over money and inviting inquiries via a contact number. Cardinal Cooke notes a priest shortage as parishes lose priests. The plan includes surveys on image impact and potential expansion to radio and TV if successful.
