Brochure of the Month: June 2026Life Matters: Our Obligation to Protect Religious Freedom
Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, USCCB
Our Nation was founded on the principle that all people are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” These rights are inherent and God-given, and foremost among these rights is the freedom of conscience – the freedom to hold, and live according to, one’s religious principles. The Catholic Church defends the same concept of freedom, and views religious freedom for all people as an inherent human right. A just and tolerant society should not force people to violate their religion unless there is an exceedingly important reason to do so. Unfortunately, this commitment to religious freedom is increasingly under attack. June 22-29 is Religious Freedom Week. Catholic are called to pray, reflect and act to promote religious freedom, both in the U.S. and abroad.
The acual brochure/insert, In English and Spanish, is available at the AMC and at the Hospitality Desk in the church narthex.
