CALL TO ACTION REGARDING THE HHS MANDATE Fourth Friday of every month: Stand up for Religious Freedom with a prayerful protest. At Noon on the 4th Friday of every month at the Federal Courthouse 401 N Market St, we will gather until the HHS Mandate is overturned. We must not be silent. Come be a presence and pray that our religious freedoms will be protected! May 23-31: Statewide Novena for Religious Liberty. Faithful urged to pray, fast, attend Mass, and sacrifice for religious liberty. Thursday, June 21: A Fortnight Mass, 6 p.m., Good Shepherd Chapel, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Wichita. A rally led by Bishop Michael O. Jackels will follow at the U.S. courthouse, a short walk to 401 N. Market. The fourteen days from June 21—the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More—to July 4, Independence Day, will be dedicated to this “fortnight for freedom”—a great hymn of prayer for our country. Culminating on Independence Day, this special period of prayer, study, catechesis, and public action will emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty. Wednesday, June 27: Panel on HHS mandate and religious freedom at 7 p.m., St. Francis of Assisi, Wichita.

Catholic Principles for Voting
The Kansas Catholic Conference governed by the Kansas Bishops, serves as the official voice of the Catholic Church in Kansas on matters of public policy. The Conference operates at the intersection of faith and politics. By applying Catholic moral principles to the important political questions of the day, the Conference strives to ensure that citizens and elected officials evaluate public policy options in light of a moral framework that transcends party affiliation or partisan politics.
The following is the first in a series of reflections related to the upcoming election offered by the leaders of the four dioceses in Kansas.
Religious Freedom, General Principles Part 1
Religious Freedom, Conscience and the Sanctity of Human Life Part 2
Religious Freedom, Marriage Family Part 3

Reflection on Immigration

The four Bishops of Kansas invite you to join them on the south steps of the State Capitol building in Topeka.

The image of St. Michael the Archangel is taken from the crest for the city of Kiev in Ukraine. In addition to being the patron saint of Bishop Jackels, the image represents his mother’s family, the Mettlers, who are Volga Germans. The unicorn is taken from the coat of arms for the Jaeckel family in Nuremberg, Germany, and was chosen to represent his father’s family.
