Catholic Social Ministry Gathering
February 15, 2007
Andrew Rivas and Jennifer Carr are led the Texas delegation in congressional visits in Washington D.C. as a part of the Annual Social Ministry Gathering of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). We met with staff from Senators Hutchison and Cornyn to discuss the USCCB policy issues: the farm bill, comprehensive immigration reform, peace in the Middle East, including Iraq and Israel/Palestine, Global HIV and AIDS (Foreign Aid, PEPFAR--President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief).

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.
