"In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation. This obligation is rooted in our baptismal commitment to follow Christ and to bear Christian witness in all we do." – Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, U.S. Catholic Bishops (November 2007)

Election day is a week away. The Virginia Catholic Conference (VCC) has put together a number of resources to assist Catholics in their duty to vote with an informed conscience. These resources include:

• Pre-Election Statement
• Information on the Presidential Candidates
• Information on the Senate Candidates
• Faithful Citizenship Video

The VCC represents the mutual public-policy interests of the Diocese of Richmond and the Diocese of Arlington.
