Catholic & Helpful Voting Resources
This year we elect members of  the House of Representatives, the Senate, and state and local representatives and judges.  We  must inform ourselves carefully on the positions of candidates on key issues, proposed ordinances and propositions, and vote according to a well-informed Catholic conscience. Many resources are available for this.

Evangelizing through prayer, education, and outreach, the questions and challenges encountered in marriage and family life are sensitively addressed, faithful to Catholic teaching.
