An Inspiring Evening with Father Dan Reehil

From Wall Street Banker to Catholic Priest

Hear Father’s powerful personal testimony of faith, conversion, and God’s transforming grace!

In 1998, he experienced a miraculous conversion after being away from the Church for twenty years. This planted the seeds of his vocation to the priesthood.

He was ordained on July 26, 2014, and now serves as pastor of St. Catherine of Siena in Columbia, Tennessee, and has been appointed as an exorcist for the Diocese of Nashville. He is also Director of Radio Maria USA and hosts a program called “Battle Ready with Fr. Dan Reehil.”

Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) | Download

Organizing Office: NYS Catholic Conference
Date(s) of Event: N/A
Description: Starting in 2027, the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit will let taxpayers redirect up to $1,700 of their federal income taxes to nonprofit scholarship organizations that provide tuition assistance for students in Catholic schools.

For example, a taxpayer owing $10,000 could direct $1,700 to scholarships instead of sending it to the federal government—directly helping families afford a Catholic education, and even additional services at public schools.

But New York families will miss out unless the governor opts in. Governor Hochul’s participation would bring new scholarship dollars to Catholic schools, easing financial pressure on families and expanding access to faith-based education.

Tell Governor Hochul to opt in and support Catholic school families.
