As Catholics, we are called to engage in the public square and work for the common good. This year, voters across South Carolina and the United States will head to the polls to elect important elected offices. Some absentee voters will begin casting their ballots weeks earlier.
The S.C. Catholic Conference provides several resources to help voters form their consciences, understand the principles and issues to consider when voting and learn where candidates stand.
In prayer and in public, your voices are urgently needed to bring Gospel values to bear on vital decisions being made by those who represent you.
