Catholic Lobby Day will be a gathering of people of faith raising their voices in "sincere dialogue... and with anxious interest... seeking the common good."[1] For the tenth consecutive year, the California Catholic Conference (CCC) is hosting Catholics from all over California who are interested in exercising their "faithful citizenship" in their state's Capital. The CCC welcomes all who are interested in meeting with elected officials to speak on behalf of those who are poor, vulnerable or voiceless.
A CCC-facilitated committee of representatives from the various diocesan ministries, lay organizations and the two seminaries plan the agenda for the one-day event which will include information sessions, a rally at the Capitol, visits with legislators, and a Mass celebrated at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament.
Please register promptly and begin to pray for all who will join together that day—raising our voices as faithful citizens who are working for justice and searching for the common good.
