Decree from Bishop Quinn

Welcome Back to Mass

Bishop Andrew Cozzens, as Vicar of Catholic Education for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, has an urgent request that he has asked us to share with every priest, parish, and school. You can watch his short video message here.

Right now legislators and Governor Walz have multiple proposals in front of them that can make real educational choices more accessible to parents and their children. Students, who urgently need access to schools that meet their unique educational needs, ask you and all people of good will to speak out now!

As a Catholic, your leadership on this issue is needed so that more people will take action.

Here are four things you can do to make an immediate impact:

1. Send a message to your State Representative, Senator, and Governor Walz
2. Encourage parents at your Catholic school to contact lawmakers
• You can send this long or short version letter to parents 
3. Encourage your parishioners to speak out 
• Use this template announcement for your bulletin or digital communications
4. Share the action alert on your parish Facebook and Twitter

Find further resources here.

Thank you for taking the time to help bring better access to real educational opportunities to Minnesota kids.
