Each year, Florida’s Bishops invite Catholics from across the state to come together in Tallahassee for Catholic Days at the Capitol.
This two-day event provides the faithful with an opportunity to respond to the call of political responsibility while strengthening the presence of Catholic values in the public arena.
By uniting to advocate for laws that protect human life and dignity, Catholic Floridians can give a voice to the vulnerable and work toward the common good of all residents.
Watch this short video to get an overview of what the event involves.
