Voting while Catholic

Announcements / by

Fr. Michael G. Ryan

As U.S. citizens, we are called to exercise our right to vote. As Catholics, we should consider the teachings of the Church to help guide our voting decisions. Catholic voters may feel conflicted when faced with the various issues on their ballots. We encourage you to read and reflect on this letter written by Fr. Michael G. Ryan regarding the importance of forming a Catholic conscience in relation to voting.

We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern.”

-Pope Francis, Morning Meditation
