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.

Pope Francis
“In order for the family to proceed
well, with faith and hope, it needs to
be nourished by the Word of God.
The Bible is not meant to be kept on
a shelf, but rather carried, read often,
every day, be it alone or together, husband and wife,
parents and children, perhaps in the evening,
especially on Sunday.
In this way, the family grows, walks, with the light
and strength of the Word of God!”
