FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE OF DETROIT…
The Archdiocese of Detroit is aware of the recent announcement from President Joe Biden regarding vaccine and testing mandates for employees at companies with 100 or more workers.
According to reports, the Department of Labor and its Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are currently drafting an emergency temporary standard to carry out the mandate. When the order becomes available, we will be studying its impact on the Curia, parishes, schools, and other archdiocesan entities. We will be communicating further information in the coming days as we learn more about these new measures.
PRO-LIFE ACTION IN TEXAS…
Days after the Supreme Court declined to prevent Texas’ new restrictive abortion law from going into effect, the Texas Catholic Conference — the public policy arm of the state’s bishops — issued a statement praising not only the new law, but also lawmakers’ approval of $100 million to fund a program called “Alternatives to Abortion.” This initiative, which was established in 2005, helps fund women’s health centers, maternity homes, prenatal care, pregnancy and parenting classes and more. It is vital work that is done not just in Texas, but in states across the country. For far too long, local women’s care centers have been forced to do this important work on shoestring budgets made possible largely by proceeds from silent auctions, charity golf outings and the like. And yet they still save countless lives. While it might seem like a pipe dream in today’s political climate, this is a cause that should bring Democrats and Republicans together to make this a reality.
SUPPORTING LIFE IN LOUISIANA…
Those wishing to make a gift to support relief efforts in Louisiana, Haiti or both should be encouraged to support the USCCB Bishops Emergency Disaster Fund. Gifts may be sent directly to the fund by mailing them to P.O. Box 96279, Washington, D.C., 20090-6278. Bless you!
GIVE TO THE CSA ...
Our goal for 2021 is $87,680.00. The 2nd mailing has gone out for those who have not yet donated. Please prayerfully consider donating so we can reach our target. Thank you and God Bless. Click to give to the CSA https://www.aod.org/catholic-services-appeal.
