It's been awhile since we, as Catholics, have been asked to participate in a country-wide postcard campaign to encourage our elected officials to stand up and vote for legislation that promotes the values and beliefs that we Catholics (and others) hold dear.  Next weekend we will give you a chance to let your voice be heard in the areas of Life and Liberty by filling out three postcards before Mass and either mailing them yourself or letting us mail them for you. These cards will go to our United States Senators and our representatives in the House of Representatives.  It asks our elected officials to "support and strengthen laws that (1) prevent federal funding and promotion of abortion and (2) protect the rights of conscience in health-care."

Lent is not only a great season to grow in our faith, but also a time to profess what we believe at Church and in the world.  For those who will let us handle the mailing, we ask a donation of $1.00 to help pay for the postage for three postcards (which are $.33 a piece).
