Call To Action is encouraged by the report from the Synod meetings in Rome. 

In seven cities from coast to coast, Catholics are gathering to pray the rosary outside the cathedral during the Synod with the hope that the Bishops will pray, listen and discern with LGBT families.

This Sunday, as part of our series on Welcoming ALL Families, author and ministry professional Beth Knobbe will join us to talk about making our communities more welcoming to single people.

The St. Louis-based Organization for Black Struggle and other Don't Shoot Coalition members have called for a mass mobilization in St. Louis this weekend, October 10-13. CTA affiliate Catholic Action Network (CAN) is one of the many organizations bringing people out for the event and organizing places for out of town-ers to sleep and eat.

This week, the Bishops are gathering in Rome to set the agenda of next year's Synod. Even though they didn't invite the laity to participate, people are lifting their voices to be heard!

Our heartfelt congratulations to our friends at Water With Blessings, who just received the prestigious Clarence Moore Award for Excellence in Voluntary Service Organization from the Pan American Health Organization Foundation (PAHO)! Water With Blessings is led by volunteers and long time CTA members in Louisville.

For decades Catholics have urged the institutional church to open up opportunities for dialogue on issues related to the well-being of all Catholic families.
