Maryland Catholic Conference         We conducted a very successful registration campaign lastmonth for the MCC Catholic Advocacy Network.  84 people filled out forms after the masses andthey were provided to Msgr. Rick to send in to the MCC office.  This was in addition to the 75 thatwe gathered earlier this year in February.  As a result, our efforts were highlighted this month in theBeacon, the State Council News Letter, by the MCC.  We are very proud and grateful to receive thisrecognition.
After a successful legislative session earlier this year - thanks to the prayers and active participation of parishioners throughout the state, MCC is planning and preparing for the 2012session. Maryland Catholic Conference invites you to sign-up to attend our second annual "presession" Advocacy Day as we continue to Stand Strong in the Public Square .
Our jobs as faithful citizens keep us engaged in the public square all year round. The key issues ofconcern to the Catholic Church and Maryland's Catholics remain the same no matter who is in officeor which party is in power. Your involvement is needed more than ever to encourage your electedofficials to support public policies that promote the common good.
What can you do? As Catholics, we are ACTivated by Faith. How is our faith calling us to action andhow can you get involved and get your parish involved in public policy and legislation?
