Faithful Citizenship for the November 5, 2024 General Election
The Catholic bishops of the United States identify the four main principles of the Church’s social teaching. This is not to tell the faithful who or what to vote for, but instead to help us form our consciences in accordance with God’s truth as we approach these challenging decisions. The four main principles are the Dignity of the Human Person, the Common Good, Solidarity, and Subsidiarity. For more information about these principles, see below.

• If you have moved, changed your name, want to change your party affiliation since the last election – or – are a new voter, you will need to register. You can register online at https://registertovote.ca.gov

• The last day to register to vote is October 21, 2024. You can check your registration status at https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov

Registration after October 21, 2024

Same Day Voter Registration, known as Conditional Voter Registration in state law, is a safety net for Californians who miss the deadline to register to vote or update their voter registration information for an election.

Eligible citizens who need to register or re-register to vote within 14 days of an election can complete this process to register and vote at their county elections office, polling place, or vote center. Their ballots will be processed and counted once the county elections office has completed the voter registration verification process.
Have additional questions about locations where you can complete the Same Day Voter Registration process?

As members of the Social Justice Group of St. Basil Parish, we come together to affirm and actively support the Seven Principles of Catholic Social Teaching.

Activities may include planning prayer services, preparing petitions which reflect social justice concerns for the Sunday Liturgy and serving at local outreach services.
 
The group may sponsor guest speakers for the Parish. We welcome members who may want to explore specific social justice issues with our group to discern, pray, and act with a faith perspective.

Through the group we receive information regarding various social justice events happening outside the Parish and bring it to the Parish's attention.

The ministry is open to all. The time commitment is minimal.
