Sunday, May 19 - Defending Our Religious Liberty #64
On Pentecost the Holy Spirit filled the minds and hearts of the Disciples to have the courage to preach the Gospel message to the whole world. On this Feast of Pentecost let us pray that the Spirit will move our government leaders to protect the rights of believers to religious liberty and freedom of conscience. The time is now to contact the White House and let them know that the federal health care mandate violates the First Amendment, which guarantees every American freedom of religion. Call the White House at: 202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414 or visit www.whitehouse.gov/contact

Sunday, May 26, 2013 - Defending Our Religious Liberty #65
As we observe Memorial Day to honor those who gave their lives to defend our freedoms from external threats, in their memory we all need to be vigilant in regard to internal threats. The health care mandate which the administration intends to impose on all Americans violates one of our most cherished freedoms, the freedom of religion and conscience.

To voice your opposition to the federal health care mandate, contact the White House at: www.whitehouse.gov/contact or call: 202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414; or write to:The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500. Let the White House know that the mandate violates the First Amendment, which guarantees religious freedom.

Sunday, June 2, 2013 - Defending Our Religious Liberty #66
Critics who say the Catholic Church is against universal health care are misinformed. The Catholic Church is founded on the Corporal Works of Mercy and helping others. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has always advocated for health care. The Catholic Church is opposing the health care mandate, because it violates the First Amendment, which is supposed to safeguard freedom of religion.

Sunday, June 9, 2013 - Defending Our Religious Liberty #67
The time has come for the U.S. government to provide the exemptions necessary so that churches and religious organizations will not be forced to subsidize healthcare coverage that goes against their moral principles.

Seven Questions on Implementing the Roman Missal, Third Edition - Since the implementation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition on November 27, 2011, the Secretariat of Divine Worship has received a number of questions regarding the Missal, and in particular, the Order of Mass. To resolve these confusions, answers are provided here for the benefit of our readers (click here).

Attention Pastors and Administrators: Click here to view a letter from the Committee on Divine Worship containing clarification and information in response to questions on the use of the new Roman Missal.

URGENT ACTION ALERTS:
New Threat to Conscience. On August 1, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued an "interim final rule" that will require virtually all private health plans to include coverage for all FDA-approved prescription contraceptives, sterilization procedures, and related "patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity." These are listed among "preventive services for women" that all health plans will have to include without co-pays or other cost-sharing -- regardless of whether the insurer, the employer or other plan sponsor, or even the woman herself objects to such coverage. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishop (USCCB) is urging Catholics to sign a petition opposing the move and protecting religious liberty.

Sunday, May 19, 2013 - Pentecost Sunday
Today we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. The Spirit will help us to know and understand our religion, not just with our minds, but with our heart and soul as well. Then in turn we can share that knowledge with each other. Pope Emeritus Benedict has explained the mystery of Pentecost this way: the Holy Spirit illuminates the human spirit and, by revealing Christ Crucified and Risen, indicates the way to become more like him, that is, to be “the image and instrument of the love which flows from Christ” (Deus Caritas Est, n. 33). The Church, gathered with Mary as at her birth, today implores: "Veni, Sancte Spiritus! - Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love!"
