PLACE:  State Capitol (Columbia Room), Olympia WA

Join us for Catholic Advocacy Day, a time for Catholics to gather in Olympia
to lobby our legislators on current legislative issues of concern for all of
us.  Participate with Catholics from around the state in "Seeking Justice:
Together on a Journey of Hope."  Don't miss this opportunity to ensure that
the Gospel message to care for our brothers and sisters is heard loud and
clear in Olympia. 

Before meeting with our local legislators, we will gather in the Columbia
Room in the State Capitol building for prayer, a program, and a legislative
briefing.  We will address current legislative issues dealing with matters
of poverty, health care, low-income housing, stem cell research, the death
penalty, and the environment.  Governor Gregoire has accepted our invitation
to speak.
