State Senator Patty Ritchie recently met with North County Catholics led by Ogdensburg Bishop Terry
LaValley, who visited Albany to take part in the annual Catholic Conference. 

Those in attendance discussed a variety of issues with Senator Ritchie, including their opposition to Governor Cuomo’s abortion expansion proposal as well as support for Catholic schools.
