Faithful Citizenship & Other Opportunities

To Life, Justice and Peace Contacts from Jim Thomas:

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has released a new introduction to its Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship document. You can find it and other resources on the following website: www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/faithful-citizenship.

I also thought you would be interested in these upcoming opportunities:

St. Charles Borromeo Respect Life committee invites you to attend a special, free "Respect Life Month" event on Tuesday, October 25 at 7pm, at St. Charles Parish in Tacoma, WA.

This event is open to all who believe that life is sacred and all those who want to learn more about the Life Principles. Light refreshments will be served and goodwill donations will be accepted.

October 31 Webinar on "Catholics Confront Global Poverty and Youth"
Through Catholics Confront Global Poverty, sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Relief Services, teachers, youth ministers and parents can help youth engage in faith-filled, participation in the life, mission and work of the Church and deepen their understanding of our connectedness to our brothers and sisters around the world. Join this interactive webinar to learn more about Catholics Confront Global Poverty as it relates to youth faith formation and youth ministry. The webinar will frame the call to address global poverty in the Gospel message and our celebration of the Eucharist. It will also share resources to help young people make a difference through prayer, learning, advocacy and action. Teachers, youth ministers, diocesan staff and others can RSVP for the webinar here.

Father Robert Spitzer has just published a new (AND VERY ACCESSIBLE!) book on pro-life ethics called "Ten Universal Principles." It's an awesome book, and Healing the Culture is hosting a FREE lecture and book-signing by the author on November 3 at UW Kane Hall. Please see the attached flyer for details.
