"Faithful citizenship calls Catholics to
see civic and political responsibilities
through the eyes of faith and to bring
our moral convictions to public life."
(Faithful Citizenship,
U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops)
We invite
you to join us as Catholic citizens to
become informed about the issues and to
make "our voices" heard as well as the
voices of those who can't speak for
themselves. For further information on
