Issue No. 30July 2013
Greetings,   
As we gather together with our family and friends to celebrate Independence Day, we reminisce on how far we have come as a nation under God. We continue to Belong More Deeply during this Year of Faith by striving for a better future. A future were our religious freedoms and ability to take action are protected.
Let us continue to participate in the Fortnight for Freedom and strive for a better future as Catholics for religious freedom.by Ashley Foster
The Catholic Advocacy Network has issued an alert for the State Assembly which will enable people to express their thanks or disappointment with their representative's vote on the Women's Equality Act including abortion expansion. Please encourage others to take action by spreading this link far and wide.
Please continue to stay informed through the New York State Catholic Conference and the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment for legislative information on Respect Life issues.

Protecting our God-given Freedom

 In a June 21 letter, Archbishop Lori and Moore, as leaders of the religious liberty efforts of the two largest religious denominations in the United States, asked legislators to support the Health Care Conscience Rights Act. They noted that "many people are being forced-and many others will soon be forced-to either follow what the government compels or suffer for their faith... [N]ow is the time to pass legislation that protects our God-given freedom." (See more)

 

 

 
In the Spotlight
2013 Fortnight for Freedom:
The U.S. bishops have called for a Fortnight for Freedom, 
two-week period of prayer and action, to address many current challenges to religious liberty. 

By contacting your congressional leaders you can support conscience protection.

A Victory
For unborn children, vulnerable women and girls who often face the pressure to abort, the failure to pass the Abortion Expansion Act is just that.
 
 
Have you ever wondered...
 
 "WHO AM I?  
AND
WHO ARE YOU, LORD?"   


The Theology of the Body for Teens training program is an exciting teaching that has a practical format that high school and middle school students will enjoy and understand.
