Issues and Legislation 2007

"Lord, make me
an instrument of your peace."
-
St. Francis
of Assisi
- Voicing concerns for human life and the social and moral issues facing us today.
- Mobilizing and encouraging faithful Catholics to integrate their faith and morals into their public life.
One of the major functions of the New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops is to review, discuss, and make recommendations concerning legislative bills that are being presented and considered during the legislative sessions held every year in Santa Fe. The Conference informs and educates the public and legislators about what the Catholic Church teaches on the moral and social justice issues facing the state and to encourage Catholic citizens to advocate for those issues.
"Faithful citizenship calls Catholics to see civic and political responsibilities through the eyes of faith and to bring our moral convictions to public life." (Faithful Citizenship, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops)
We invite you to join us as Catholic citizens to become informed about the issues and to make "our voices" heard as well as the voices of those who can't speak for themselves. For further information on legislative issues and upcoming bills visit our links.
