Take Action for Peace In Syria

During the week of September 9, Congress is expected to take up a resolution authorizing the use of military force in Syria in response to heinous chemical weapons attacks on innocent civilians.

Both the Holy see and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops have condemned the chemical weapons attacks, but remain convinced that only dialogue can save lives and bring about peace in Syria. You can learn more about the issue and find ways to take action below.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops is urging us to take action by getting in touch with our Senators and Representative. Click here for background information and here for an editable, pre-written electronic message you can send to Congress.
