Help defend religious liberty in the United States
The U.S. Department of HHS has finalized a rule requiring that all employers provide full prescription contraception coverage to their employees. A house of worship would not have to include such coverage in their health plans, but all other religious organizations would. Despite multiple objections to HHS from the USCCB, Catholic Charities in multiple states, and bishops from many dioceses throughout the US, HHS has decided to force compliance with the rule, giving religious organizations one year before full implementation. Find out more about what you can do to change this rule. |

Ordinary Time
| A common term for the extraordinary gift of creation that God has given us. Our response to this gift is thanksgiving offered through the Celebration of the Eucharist. From earliest Christian times, Sunday has been the Lord’s Day, when Christians gather to give thanks and praise to our Creator and Redeemer as we join in the Paschal Mystery. January 29, 2012, Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time |
