Summer Plans at the Texas Catholic Conference
July 02, 2007

Now that session is all over (see how we did) we at the TCC are gearing up for our next exciting round of events. During the summer, staff will be attending Catholic conferences and gatherings to explore further the Church's teachings on key issues like end of life decisions and care for God's creation. In addition, we have a seminarian intern from the Diocese of Austin, Kevin Jackson, who is assisting us in developing a series of fact sheets on Church teaching on each of our policy priorities. Starting in August we will have a series of blogs about international policy, focusing on HIV/AIDS and food security issues in Zambia as our Associate Director prepares to serve as a advocacy delegate in an upcoming trip to Zambia with Catholic Relief Services.

Our Mission The primary purpose of the Conference is to encourage and foster cooperation and communication among the dioceses and the ministries of the Catholic Church of Texas. A major function of the Conference is to be the public policy arm of the Conference's Board of Directors, the bishops of Texas, before the Texas legislature, the Texas delegation in Congress, and state agencies. The public policy issues addressed by the Conference include institutional concerns of the Catholic Church as well as issues related to Catholic moral and social teachings. Learn more about us.
