"The glory of God is man fully alive, and the life of man is the vision of God. If the revelation of God through creation already brings life to all living beings on earth, how much more will the manifestation of the Father by the Word bring life to those who see God."

Advocacy in Harrisburg on pro life and pro marriage/family legislation
- As per the Pa Catholic Conference, “Please respect the concerns of all parties involved in
adoption proceedings and vote no on HB 162 in its current
form.”
- As per the Pa Catholic Conference, "Ask your legislator to include the language of House Bill 1623 in the Fiscal Code.”
- As per the Pa Catholic Conference, “I am quite
concerned that HB 1510/ SB 974 will run afoul
of religious freedom and expose even more… to discrimination. Please oppose the bill in its current form.” "Well-funded out of state special interest groups and powerful lobbyists continue to push, and the latest move is to split SB 974 into parts to force it through in a piecemeal basis. There are three proposed parts to this new strategy - SB 1306, SB 1307 and SB1316....tell them to vote no on SB 1306, SB1307 and SB 1316" (PaFamily.org).
- As per the Pa Catholic
Conference,
“Please represent me by voting yes on House Bill 1948.” (SB 888)
- As
per the Pa Catholic Conference, HB 1947 “would not apply to public schools or
government agencies....a legislative remedy must protect all children, not
simply penalize some institutions” (i.e., Vote NO on HB
1947).
- As per Pa Pro Life Online News (6/1/16), "Representative Steven Santarsiero (D-Bucks County) is
circulating a co-sponsorship memo for a bill that would repeal Act 13 of
2013....Act 13 is the common
sense law that ensures that no taxpayer funding of abortion will occur
in the health insurance exchange created in Pennsylvania under
Obamacare."
- The Pa Pro Life Federation encourages us to OPPOSE HB 1336, as it would take away your right to vote for judges.
