Resources for elections
Each election offers voters a fresh opportunity to ensure that our communities are guided by leaders who will provide practical and efficient leadership with the good of all in mind – including the unborn, the elderly, the young, families, and those who are too often forgotten by society – as well as workers, farmers, business owners, and all future generations.
Catholics are called to participate, in accordance with the full measure of talents entrusted to them by God. At a minimum, this means voting wisely after having considered all relevant issues, the positions of each of the candidates and parties, and relevant Church teachings. And many of us are called to even deeper involvement: volunteering at polling stations and parishes to help get out the vote; engaging personally with candidates and party officials; and perhaps even more.
Our resources and archives can help you engage more fully.
