Thank you
for supporting our fight to
End the Death Penalty in CA last year!
We were very disappointed with the election results, but
our sacred duty to continue, and our hopes for ultimate victory
have not been diminished...
Pope Francis has not changed his stance
Against the Death Penalty.
CA Bishops have not changed their stance
Against the Death Penalty.
The Catholic Church nor any other
organized religion have not changed their stance
Against the Death Penalty.
And I
stand firmly in my resolve to
end this barbaric practice, now more than ever.
During these past few months we have witnessed tremendous activism and concern over the statements and actions of our new federal administration. Statements in favor of torturing prisoners, and the continued use of the death penalty clearly go against our Christian and Moral values.
I encourage everyone to get involved locally,
in your congregations, and keep our
elected officials accountable.
We must protect everyone currently under attack:
our Muslim American neighbors,
immigrant families among us,
and our precious constitutional rights.
Our fight against the death penalty will continue,
and we invite you to join our team as we
strategically plan our next steps.
Our Leadership Team will meet
Wednesday,
February 22nd, 7pm
We are planning a general group meeting for everyone on Saturday, March 18th, 10am-12pm
Before that meeting we'd also like to invite you to stop by our Booth #466 at the Religious Education Congress, and join us for our annual Rally and March Against the Death Penalty
on
Please contact me if you would like to join our
Leadership Team on February 22nd.
Blessings and Peace
Fr Chris Ponnet,
Pastor St Camillus Center
