ACTION ALERTS-SIGN UP TO KEEP INFORMED ON PERTINENT ISSUES To help keep Catholics informed of pertinent issues on both the State and National level, I encourage Catholics to sign up for notices from the Michigan Catholic Conference and the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops. These vehicles issue timely notices and information on issues pertinent to the Catholic Church. If you have not already signed up for these action alerts, I encourage you to do so. I would also ask you to help me spread the word about these valuable resources that help to keep Catholics informed and enable them to take timely action on important issues. You may sign up for alerts from the Michigan Catholic Conference by following this link: http://www.micatholic.org/advocacy/catholic-advocacynetwork/ You may sign up for alerts from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops by following this link: https://www.votervoice.net/usccb/home 54 DAY ROSARY NOVENA AUGUST 15-OCTOBER 7, 2018 Please join in praying a Novena for Our Nation as an Act of Reparation; calling upon God through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary to heal our country and return it to holiness.
