        Faithful Citizens
        The Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops hosted a Faithful Citizenship Day May 18 at St. Joseph Cathedral in Baton Rouge and the Louisiana State Capitol. During the course of the day attendees, pictured at the steps of the capitol, participated in committee hearings, observed debates of bills in the House and Senate chambers and met legislators. The focus of the event was to continue educating and engaging Catholics on social justice teachings and legislation, LCCB positions on legislation and to develop relationships with each other and legislators. A story on the event will be in the June 3 issue of The Catholic Commentator. Photo by Debbie Shelley | The Catholic Commentator
