‘Catholics @ the Capitol’ events set for Archdiocese of Louisville

The Catholic Conference of Kentucky — the public policy arm of Kentucky’s bishops — will hold 19 Catholics @ the Capitol events around the commonwealth in the next few months. The events, which follow the election, are “a reminder that Faithful Citizenship is not just about voting, but about involvement in the public life of our community,” according to the conference’s website.

Catholics @ the Capitol, held annually, is an opportunity for faithful citizens to examine issues that the bishops have identified as priorities in the Kentucky General Assembly.
