This past session, the Minnesota Catholic Conference engaged on policy proposals in the State Legislature’s House and Senate even though we knew that finding bi-partisan support on any given issue could be difficult.

Watchmen pray. Not only at church, vigils and various gatherings, but in living an undivided life of faith at home, the workplace, sports and recreation, community events, etc. You name it.
