Faithful Citizenship

Attend in-person or online

$15/$25 suggested donation

Navigating the complexities of the 2024 election will be a challenge. With the current political climate marked by polarization and misinformation, discerning the right choices requires vigilance and wisdom.

This presentation will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed choices. Explore the essential principles of Catholic social teaching, focusing on conscience, moral decision-making, and the common good. Find practical advice on staying informed, engaging in respectful dialogue, making your voice heard, and praying before you cast a vote.

This is a space for dialogue, welcoming a diversity of perspectives knowing that there are no simple solutions to the various issues at local, state, and national levels. It is an opportunity to explore the teaching of the Catholic Church, share with others, and to be able to make informed choices when exercising your right to vote.

Prepare spiritually and intellectually for this important election.
