The aim of the article is to present the socio-pastoral activities of Father Richard J.

Using the document research method, the materials compiled in the New York archive of the journal “First Things” were analyzed, while the analytical-synthetic method was used to present articles and commentaries published on this subject in the mentioned periodical.
