Dear [CONTACT: first name],
I hope you are enjoying the Missouri Catholic Conference (MCC) semiannual newsletter, Good News, and the other communications we issue, such as the MCC Messenger, which appears in the diocesan papers on a quarterly basis. We try our best to keep you informed about developing issues that pose great moral questions for our state and nation and alert you when action is needed. We encourage you to check out our podcast, MCC from the Capitol (available on our website, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts) in which we take a closer look at public policy issues and how they impact the Church.
With your help over the last several years, we have passed historic pro-life laws – including the trigger law that outlawed nearly all abortions in Missouri after the Dobbs decision – along with the Missouri Empowerment Scholarship Accounts program that allows qualifying students to apply for a scholarship to Catholic or other qualifying schools. In 2024, the MCC will continue its work on a number of important public policy issues, including providing women facing crisis pregnancies with Alternatives to Abortion, repealing the death penalty, ensuring adequate social services and healthcare for the poor, and promoting educational opportunities for all school children, including those attending Catholic schools.
The MCC will not succeed in any of these efforts without the involvement of committed Catholics like you. Without your help, the needs of the most vulnerable among us are likely to be forgotten in the halls of Congress and in our State Capitol. That is why the MCC wants to stay in contact with you—so you know what is going on and can respond by contacting your elected officials when critical legislation is pending.
You currently receive our communications for free. I am asking you to consider a donation to help the MCC. Your donation will help us to continue providing you with our MCC publications. To make a donation online, click here or on the picture below, or please mail your donation to:

Thank you and God bless!
Sincerely,
Jamie Morris
