Beginning Sept. 8 and every Tuesday until Election Day, Precious Blood Renewal Center will host a series of discussions based on the Sunday Gospels with the aim of helping us prepare to go to the voting booth this November.
Fr. Ron Will, CPPS, will lead the discussions and be joined by members of the Precious Blood community. With Fr. Ron on Sept.8 will be Jean Swymeler and on Sept. 15 Gabino Zavala.
A plethora of materials is available to help form the conscience of voters. We will take a little different approach. We will use the Sunday Mass Gospel for the week, name what we hear Jesus say to us and apply that to our lives.
We want to allow the Sunday Gospels to speak to our family and work situations, and also to our political situations. Our goal is to make decisions in the voting booth that are in tune with Jesus’ values.
The gospel values we examine today are “Community” and “Healthy Relationships.”
New videos in this series will be posted on Tuesday mornings. All the videos will be collected on this page: The Discerning Voter: Gospel Values for this Election Season.

This is a quick-to-assemble casserole for cool autumn evenings. It can be the main dish or a side. It’s perfect for pot lucks or even tailgating parties.
In this video, Fr. Mark Miller, CPPS, helps us examine the most pressing issues of the upcoming election, through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. The workshop focuses on issues, not political parties or candidates.
