The Missionary Oblates JPIC office has joined and
signed a Pledge to Educate, Advocate and Pray for an end to the use of the death penalty in the United States. The National Catholic Campaign To End The
Use Of The Death Penalty calls on Catholic faithful and organizations to promise
to Educate, Advocate and Pray for an end to the use of the
death penalty.
The pledge drive is organized by the Catholic Mobilizing Network
as part of the United States Catholic Bishops Conference. Catholic Bishops were
among the first to sign the National Catholic Pledge to End the Death Penalty during the launch in May 2017.
The Campaign to End the Use of the Death Penalty is
part of the Missionary Oblates JPIC Consistent Life initiative. In this campaign, JPIC
office provides resources and faithful action suggestions to Oblates and
associates reflecting the teaching of the Catholic Church to end the use of the
death penalty in the United States.
In response to Pope Francis’s call, pledge to
educate, advocate, and pray for the end of the death penalty. Get more
