As Catholics and Americans, we are blessed to be able to participate in our nation’s political and public life. This year, as in past elections, the Diocese of Gaylord has taken its lead from the Unites States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the Michigan Catholic Conference (MCC). Resources from these two organizations can help us to vote with our Catholic faith in mind.
USCCB
The USCCB includes many resources for parishes, organizations and individuals to help inform and guide us during this election season. Below are some helpful resources found at faithfulcitizenship.org and ciudadanosfieles.org.
