Jeanne passed away September 7. In her life she responded to the Gospel call to help others in many varied ways and was a tireless promoter of CTA. A beautiful liturgy commemorating her life included the reading of the book "The Next Place" by Warren Hanson, a comforting and hopeful view of our transition beyond death. Jeanne's spirit remains with us.

Sign the Council 50 DeclarationThe Global Council Network invites Catholics to sign the Council 50 Declaration, which commits its signatories to work for change in the Church. The declaration was produced at a conference last November after last fall’s synod demonstrated that bishops are unlikely to support real change in the Church: reform will have to come from the faithful. You can read and sign the declaration here.

*** Action Alert! Stand with Church Workers ***
At the recent Call To Action Annual Conference over a thousand Catholics declared that unjust firings are not in line with our Catholic tradition and have no part in the future of our Church. The Catholic Church Worker Declaration, a document meant to bring Catholics together to stop these firings, was enthusiastically affirmed.
Be in solidarity with Church Workers by signing this petition affirming the declaration and calling for an end to discriminatory firings of Catholic Church Workers.
Please invite friends, family, and members of the communities to which you belong to sign this petition. Together, we can rise up and say: no more unjust firings in our name!
