This is the first time the bills have received a favorable recommendation from a committee since first introduced in 2011. The two bills were also amended slightly and merged into one bill. It has now been assigned to the Health Care Finance Committee for its review. We must do what we can to prevent it from going any further than the committee level. Efforts by the Mass. Catholic Conference and other like-minded groups and individuals to defeat these bills are ongoing. In addition to the Catholic Church’s teaching that life begins at conception and ends naturally, there are many other concerns that remain in the bill. You can help by letting your senator and representative know where you stand on this issue. Learn more about the bill and legislative contact information by clicking the button below. Please pray for life!

 This year a Virtual Challenge of the pilgrimage has been created! This challenge, named The Conqueror, is 480 miles and each time you complete a distance-based exercise activity such as running, walking, cycling, etc., you, your family, or team advance along the map from France to Spain. There is an app to monitor progress and includes street views, virtual postcards, and a medal and certificate for completion. You can choose up to 78 weeks to complete the challenge and there is an entry fee. Click on the pic above for more info and let us know your progress!
