Announcements
PETITION TO REPEAL THE DEATH PENALTY IN GEORGIA
Georgia’s next legislative session begins on January 10. Georgia Catholics Against the Death Penalty are collecting signatures from the Catholics of our state to present to the chair of the Judiciary Non-Civil Committee to urge them to support legislation that would repeal the death penalty in Georgia. In September, Pope Francis asked all people of goodwill to mobilize to abolish the death penalty. Now is the time for Georgia Catholics to mobilize for the protection of human life and dignity in our laws. Sign the petition here!
THE NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL
The Bishops of the United States have started a three-year plan to revive and foster Eucharistic devotion in the hearts of the faithful. This movement hopes to heal, convert, form, and unify Catholics by encountering Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Visit the National Eucharistic Revival website for more information.
