Important Notice from the Duluth Diocese Office of Marriage and Family Life
Our state lawmakers need to hear from you! There are multiple bills being considered that will impact children and families here in Minnesota. Please go to MNCatholic.org/ActionAlerts, learn about the issues, and send messages urging your legislators to:
- Pass a robust child tax credit that will support families doing the hard work of raising the next generation amid increasing economic pressures.
- Bishop video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ_RGPuYWeQ
- Action alert: https://www.mncatholic.org/action_19200
- Ensure that pro-abortion provisions are not included in the final health finance and policy omnibus bill. We must help women in need, not eliminate common-sense laws that help ensure her health and safety.
- Action alert: https://www.mncatholic.org/action_19151
- Vote NO on the legalization of recreational marijuana. We know this will negatively impact families, especially those who bear the cross of addiction, and will put children at greater risk of accidental overdose and drug abuse.

- Action alert: https://www.mncatholic.org/action_18741
- Put a stop to legislation that expands transgender transitioning for minors and makes Minnesota an epicenter of this corrupt practice.
