NO SCHOOL Nov. 5 for Election Day
Lord God, as the election approaches, we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country, and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community. We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty. We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn and those abandoned, Men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender. We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom. We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word, live your love, and keep in the ways of your truth as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Yes on Amendment 2 FAQ
Kentucky already funds private and nonprofit organizations for essential services like child welfare and medical care, using proven programs to deliver results. Extending this approach to education will foster healthy competition where the ultimate winners are the students themselves—because a child’s education can shape their entire future.
This election you will see a constitutional amendment on the ballot, giving Kentuckians the opportunity to weigh-in on much-needed changes. By striking language from the state’s constitution that dates to the 1800s, it would allow legislators to explore more options for funding education initiatives in addition to and outside of our traditional public schools.
Nationally, this will help Kentucky compete with neighboring states that have already embraced educational choice in various forms. It will ensure that, regardless of economic status, every student can attend a school that best fits their needs.
Any specific policies resulting from this amendment would still need to pass through the legislative process with careful research, debate, and voting. One thing is clear: it will greatly benefit our Catholic schools. We firmly believe that voting ‘yes’ means putting students first.
