Tomorrow, Tuesday, February 24, Catholics across the country will gather to launch the Season of Faithful Witness, a national invitation to respond to this moment with prayer, moral clarity, and hope. From Ash Wednesday through the feast of Corpus Christi, we will unite in action and visible, nonviolent public witness rooted in the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching. In a time when many families are living with fear and uncertainty, we are called to affirm the dignity of every human person and the common good, together.
Join us on the evening of the State of the Union for a powerful national gathering, “On Earth as it is in Heaven: Catholics Envision the State of Our Union.”
Use this link to register for this call. We will start at 8 PM Eastern/5 PM Pacific.
Sr. Annie Killian, vice chair of the Pax Christi USA National Council, will serve as moderator for the call, and our bishop president, Bishop John Stowe, OFM. Conv., will offer the closing benediction.
Through Scripture, testimony, and practical guidance, we will prepare our hearts to listen as disciples and step forward as faithful witnesses. You’ll hear stories from leaders across issue areas, receive tools for launching local action, and connect with others committed to public expressions of prayerful solidarity.
This is a season to respond, not in anger, but in hope. Not alone, but together.
Please invite attendees to consider tax resistance. Genocide in Gaza, kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife , the blockade of Cuba, Ice raids, detentions , and murders are all funded by our taxes. We are forced to pay for crimes, sins. Refuse to cooperate with the Federal Government of the US. Give with held tax money to a school, hospital or homeless shelter. Choose to fund life not death.
