• Phase 2: Launch Parish Inventory Process (July 1-September 30)
• Phase 3: Assessment of Inventory & Begin Planning (October 1- December 31)
• Phase 4: Announce & Commit (plan for) Parish Response (January 1 – March 31)
• Phase 5: Implement Parish Plans (beginning April 1, 2022)

No Taxpayer Abortion campaign

The Hyde Amendment, which prevents tax dollars from directly funding abortion, is at risk in Congress.  This bipartisan measure, in place since 1976, is being threatened in current federal funding efforts.  In response, the USCCB has implemented a campaign titled No Taxpayer Abortion. We need your help to maintain the Hyde Amendment as federal policy. See our Pro-Life News page to learn how you can support this effort.
