Oct 21, ICD Catholic Voter Information Night

ICD CATHOLIC VOTER INFORMATION NIGHT

On Thursday, October 21st, at 7pm, in the ICD Parish Hall, I (Fr. Robert Reiker) will be addressing the issue of a responsible Catholic being a responsible voter in the upcoming election on November 2nd. This will be followed by a question-answer period.

One of our greatest blessings as a citizen of the United States of America is our right to participate in the political decisions of our nation. Elections are a time for discussions and decisions about political issues and moral values. The U.S. bishops offer Catholic principles for Catholic voters to consider in a document entitled "Faithful Citizenship: A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility".

Archbishop Burke has issued a pastoral letter on Catholics voting that was in your October 1st issue of the St. Louis Review and also available on-line at www.archstl.com. Please take time to read this letter and the materials sent to every ICD home.
This was in Sunday's Bulletin.
