Religious Liberty

Religious Freedom Week is June 22-29, 2018.  The U.S. Catholic Bishops remind us of our call to follow Christ as missionary disciples by serving others and living our faith in all we do.  During Religious Freedom Week, we are asked to pray, reflect, and take action on religious liberty, both here in this country and abroad.  For resources, visit  www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/religious-freedom-week.
