THE KNIGHTS AND IMMIGRATION REFORM!
Considering our State Deputy Elect Carmine’s strong support for our church’s position on Immigration Reform, I was pleased to have the opportunity to take action for this cause.
I encourage you to do the same by clicking the “Take Action” link below. Once you have entered your info, why not add yourself to the US Conference of Catholic Bishops email list, for Immigration and possibly other issues.
What a Great way to practice our faith and stand up with our church!
Vivat Jesus!
