Ave Maria
Communications Will Presents “Catholic Witness in a Nation Divided”

bit of faith, hope, and joy after this year's election. To chart a new course
for Catholics and other interested Christians, Ave Maria Radio will sponsor a
day long conference Sat., Jan. 12 in SE MI called"Catholic
Witness In A Nation Divided."The focus will be
ecclesial, that is church focused not politically focused... If the Church and
its membership and its teachers truly applied the Church's teachings on the
