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.

READ: BISHOP CAMPBELL, LANCASTER, ENGLAND, "YOU CAN'T BE CATHOLIC AND SUPPORT ABORTION"

Our Lady of Walsingham Family Life Ministries eagerly embraces Pope Francis' directives, example and leadership, and seeks to provide the pastoral support and resources to help strengthen marriage and family life, while protecting the sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death. Evangelizing through prayer, education, and outreach, the questions and challenges encountered in marriage and family life are sensitively addressed, faithful to Catholic teaching.
