Take Action on Life Issues

Support new pro-parent policies proposed by the Virginia Department of Education! Suspense date is October 26th.

 

Stay on top of the latest regulations from the federal government! When new regulations are proposed, there is a period of time when the public can comment.  Executive agencies must take these comments into account before issuing the final rules.  So, you can make a difference!  Sound off to government agencies in Washington so that they know that you support the Church's right to operate her institutions in accordance with her faith in Jesus Christ.
