Living Our Expectations

One of the expectations of

parishioners at St. Columbkille is:

Once a year engage your political

leaders in concerns for justice.

Some of our parishioners were doing just that

at Pro-Life Legistlative Day in Lincoln.

Above is Kim Zurcher with Senator Jim Smith from District 14.

Here is Cathy Peterson with Senator Scott Price from District 3.

They "called" their senators off the legistlative floor to visit with them and encourage them to vote for LIFE ... Specifically the Nebraska Right to Life bills being heard:

LB 521: Stop Web Cam Abortions

LB 461: Freedom of Conscience Act for Medical Providers

4th Graders in Lincoln

Yesterday the fourth grade classes took a trip

to Lincoln. They began in the State Capital.

There they learned how our legistlature and courts work.

 Our State Senator Senator, Jim Smith, spoke with the students.

That was great since one of the expectations for parishioners

at St. Columbkille is to "Once a year engage your

 political leaders in concerns for justice."

Outside was the Education Freedom Rally for LB 50.

This tax credit bill would help eligible parents pay private

school tuition. Archbishop Lucas spoke about it.

After their visit to the capital, students visited Morrill

Hall at the University of Nebraska State Museum.

They learned about fossils in Elephant Hall ...

 

 ... and they were able to get involved in some exhibits.

 

It was a very busy day in Lincoln.
