Faith Formation Sunday

After Mass, the Social Justice Committee is sponsoring an educational event:

“Does your faith inform your vote? A video presentation in preparation for voting based on

Catholic Social Teaching by Fr. Mark Miller CPPS will be shown. Bill Cordaro and Theresa

Torres will facilitate the faith sharing groups that follow the presentation. We ask for a free

will offering for Fr. Mark’s presentation.

“Pope Francis makes it clear: In our participation in public life, we are called to be multi-issue

voters, not single-issue voters, with the ultimate aim of supporting the common good. This

workshop will provide you with resources to educate yourself as a faithful voter on the issues

and concerns that are “equally sacred.” We will walk through the most pressing issues of the

upcoming election, looking at them through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. The

workshop focuses on issues, not political parties or candidates. Catholic Social Teaching arises

out of the long and rich tradition that includes the written teachings of the Church and the

witness of Christians and people of good will, committed to proclaiming the love of the

Gospel and the justice of God’s kingdom. Catholic Social Teaching is not a theory or an

intellectual exercise, but rather how people of faith are called to live the Gospel in a broken

and suffering world. This election season, justice-seekers are coming together to consider the

many issues that serve the common good, so all of us have what we need to thrive and help

us move closer to a multiracial, multi- faith, inclusive democracy.” (Taken from Precious Blood
