The members of the organization Desfile Mariano de New York, Inc. and affiliated associations, Dominican Sunday, Marian Ministry, and Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta Award continue to fail to comply with the policies and procedures of the Archdiocese of New York and are distributing information inaccurately suggesting that they are affiliated with the Archdiocese of New York.

The Archdiocese of New York, its parishes, clergy, religious, institutions and hierarchy cannot support or have any affiliation with Desfile Mariano de Nueva York, Inc., or its allied associations. Accordingly, the organization is not permitted to use the name, trademark, parishes, clergy, religious, and hierarchy of the archdiocese to advertise or announce any activity or ministry. Effective immediately, any and all parish activities purportedly associated with Desfile Mariano de Nueva York, Inc. and/or its associations are hereby suspended.
