Election Day 2024 is just two months from today, a good reminder that we have a responsibility to model faithful citizenship that sets a respectful, charitable tone for democracy in the public square. This responsibility requires more than good intentions. It requires prayer, Scripture reading and reflection, studying Catholic Social Teaching and applying that teaching to the platform priorities of each major political party and the stated priorities of our candidates for political office.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The 2016 election season is well underway. Voting begins at the end of September and continues through Election Day, Nov. 8. Many of you have already begun your decision-making process. This time offers an excellent opportunity to examine the candidates and issues with a properly formed conscience, learning and taking to heart the moral and social teaching of the church.
