Catholics at the Capitol 2024 (Register by April 1)

April 9 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Tuesday, April 9th from 9:15 am – 4:30 pm

Every year, thousands of pieces of legislation are proposed, debated, and voted on in state houses around the country. Some of this legislation is mundane, but a lot of it has a direct and significant impact on people’s lives. (We saw this very clearly in OH last year.) As Catholics, we are called to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and work in different ways to create God’s kingdom on Earth, a community where everyone’s dignity is honored and each person is respected and given the opportunity to thrive. One of the those ways is through advocacy with our elected officials.

On Tuesday, April 9, Catholics from around the state will gather in Columbus to advocate for legislation that respects life, cares for the poor, and protects all of God’s creation. Co-sponsored by the Catholic Conference of Ohio and the different Respect Life and Catholic Social Action offices from around the state, this is an opportunity to speak with those women and men we elected and hold them accountable to what matters to us, their constituents. The day will start with a bit of training, every visit will be done with partners, and lunch will be provided.

If you have any questions, please email Andrew.

Please join us to stand up for life and dignity.
