Bishop Pates Speaks on HHS Mandate
Bishop Richard Pates was asked to issue a letter to the faithful regarding the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services rule on mandatory health care coverage of contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs. He sent a letter to all priests and deacons on Wednesday (Feb. 8) asking that the letter either be read from the pulpit or included in bulletins the weekend of Feb. 11-12.
The government issued the rule on Jan. 20. On Jan. 23, Bishop Pates sent a statement encouraging education, prayer and action to all priests and deacons. He asked that they help educate parishioners on the issue and included resources from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Bishop`s letter is at link below:
