Saint Kathryn Parish

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has reminded us that Catholics can receive the Coronavirus vaccine in good conscience, due to the moral distance between the reception of the vaccines and their development from fetal cell tissues derived from abortion. Yet, the bishops also reminded us of our moral obligation to publicly object to the use of abortion-derived cells in any stage of vaccine production or development. The USCCB has provided us with sample letters we can use to send to each pharmaceutical company to make our request known for them to begin using ethically derived materials in the development of their products. Please click on the link above to be taken to their website to use the sample letters. Alternatively, there are copies of each letter in the back of the church after Masses during the month of June for anyone who would like to sign the group letters from the parish.

Not everyone can attend a Steubenville Youth Conference this summer, so Steubenville is coming to you! The Steubenville Youth Retreat experience combines live-streamed and in-person elements to allow you to gather wherever you are – with whomever you are with – and encounter Christ together.
