November Elections As elections approach, we urge everyone of voting age to exercise the privilege of voting. As Catholics, we uphold vital Gospel principles. We encourage you to “render to God what belongs to God”. The Conference of Catholic Bishops highlights four areas of special concern: 1. Defend human life against the threat of abortion. 2. Promoting family life, especially the sanctity of marriage. 3. Pursuing social justice, especially the human rights of immigrants. 4. Practicing global solidarity, especially the obligation to avoid war and promote peace, and to help alleviate global poverty and promote human rights. When making your decision about candidates, ask if the candidate’s platform is sensitive to the above principles, and vote your conscience. Well-informed voters do a great service to our community and to our country. An outdoor experiential retreat for men A great weekend for any man.
