CLIMATE:
This week the Catholic Climate Covenant asks us to contact our members of Congress in honor of the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’! Use the pre-crafted message.
Additionally, on 6/25 can we join them as they deliver the Laudato Si’ Pilgrimage of Hope to Capitol Hill? Catholic advocates will hand-deliver blessed encyclicals and letters to every Catholic Member of Congress, urging them to uphold the moral principles of Laudato Si’ in their climate policy decisions. Join the pilgrimage in spirit by sending the same message to your elected officials today. In this season of reflection and recommitment, make sure Congress hears from faithful Catholics who support just climate solutions. Follow CCC on social media to catch the live stream of the prayer service and other parts of the day. Always keep advocates and elected officials in prayer!
Archbishop Borys Gudziak, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, spoke out on the reconciliation bill, the so-called “One, Big Beautiful Bill Act” in an op-ed for OSV News. He wrote: “As followers of Christ, we are called not only to serve the poor but to advocate for changing systems that create and perpetuate poverty. This bill, as it stands, falls significantly short in responding to the needs of our vulnerable sisters and brothers.” Take
action and call your senators to protect the most vulnerable in this bill.
