Vote No On Amendment 4
An extremely grave amendment has been placed on the November 2024 ballot that seeks to erase pro-life protections by inserting language into the Florida Constitution prohibiting regulation of abortion. The amendment would allow late-term abortions, and would eliminate laws requiring parental consent and safety protocols for women. The Catholic Church across the state of Florida is urging all Florida Catholics and people of good will to vote “no” on Amendment 4. To learn more, visit www.dosp.org/voteno.
Date Specific
June 1 – St. Justin Martyr
St. Justin was an early Christian who converted to the faith and spent his adult life teaching and writing about the truth of Christianity. After refusing to sacrifice to pagan gods, he was martyred for the faith. Like St. Justin, may we be courageous in the midst of our trials and strive to lead others to Christ.
St. Justin Martyr, pray for us! 🙏🏼

Let us remember to make God’s will for us our priority and to recognize Jesus in the face of the poor and sick.
