The Missouri Catholic Conference and the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph work closely together on a variety of issues. In order to facilitate the advocacy process and make it easier for citizens to get involved in issues of concern, there is an Advocacy Action Alert program. This simple on-line registration process allows citizens to sign up for information on the topics of their choice and receive timely updates from the Missouri Catholic Conference.

As Catholics, we are part of a community with a rich heritage that helps us consider the challenges in public life and contribute to greater justice and peace for all people. Americans share many blessings and strengths, including a tradition of religious freedom and political participation. However, as a people, we face serious challenges that are clearly political and also profoundly moral in nature.
We are a nation founded on "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," but the right to life itself is not fully protected, especially for unborn children, the most vulnerable members of the American family. As a gift from God, every human life is sacred from conception to natural death. The work for justice requires that the mind and heart of Catholics be educated and formed to know and practice the whole faith. |
