New threats to religious liberty - Recently, President Obama’s administration and the Department of Health and Human Services have drawn a “line in the sand” refusing to acknowledge the conscience rights of those opposed to abortion, contraception and sterilization in regards to health care. The U.S. bishops have expressed grave concern about this, because this decision affects not only the Church but all citizens. To read Archbishop Schnurr's statement, statement from Fr. Reutter and statements from the USCCB please, click here.

Medicine Packing - Unfortunately, because of the tremendous ongoing violence, the Sudan Mission scheduled for Feb. 22 - March 6 has been postponed until the fall of 2012. As a result, the Peace and Justice Medication Packing Night scheduled for Monday, Feb. 6 has been canceled.
March for Life - Recently the nation observed the 38th annual “March for Life” in Washington, D.C., to pray and protest against the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion for virtually any reason at virtually any time during pregnancy. Each year, there is a Mass at the National Catholic Shrine to pray for the unborn and for those defending life. Read the homily here of Cardinal DiNardo, archbishop of Houston and the secretary for the U.S. Bishops’ Pro-Life Commission.
