Join Catholic Legislative Network this weekend: Cards passed out at every Mass, or, at www.cacatholic.org
Bishop Jaime Soto has designated June 27-28 in parishes across the Diocese of Sacramento as “Life and Dignity Sunday,” where parishioners will have the opportunity to register as members of the statewide Catholic Legislative Network sponsored by the California Catholic Conference in Sacramento. The CCC is the public policy arm of the state’s Catholic bishops.

The Catholic Legislative Network “is an effective way for Catholics to act on their faith in the public arena,” noted Bishop Jaime Soto in a message encouraging the faithful to sign up for the network.

Life and Dignity Sunday coincides with the national Catholic initiative, “Fortnight for Freedom,” which is being held June 21-July 4. “This initiative is a pastoral effort to have the Catholic community appreciate the religious freedom we enjoy, along with the other freedoms cherished by this nation since its founding on July 4, 1776,” Bishop Soto said. Life and Dignity Sunday “is a good way of reminding the faithful of the vital connection between our Catholic faith and living in a democratic society.”
