Noteworthy Events at our Parish

Civil society today is undergoing a complex cultural process. Although as a nation, we share many blessings and strengths, including a tradition of religious freedom and political participation, as Catholics, we face serious challenges that are both political and moral. We are called to participate in public life in a manner consistent with the mission of our Lord in promoting the common good. However, how do we exercise our conscience in selecting a candidate when all policies can be evaluated on their moral merits? How do we discern the dictates of our conscience? Watch the video of the recorded seminar to gain a broader perspective on this very important matter.
