The Felician Sisters of North America connect civic engagement and the moral responsibility to vote for constructive systemic change with their core values and the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, emphasizing participation in all aspects of government and society for the common good, with a preferential concern for the poor, the vulnerable and those who are marginalized in society.
Felician Sisters consider voting both a moral obligation and a civic responsibility, a way for each person to participate meaningfully in shaping our communities and contributing to the common good.
Our corporate stand to reverence all people calls us to recognize that a society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable members. Threats to human life carry moral weight and issues like poverty, immigration, peace and care for creation are also essential components of a consistent ethic of life and justice.
As we approach the November elections, we encourage all who are eligible to vote to prayerfully consider the issues, candidates and policies before them, and to participate in the electoral process with a commitment to the dignity of every person and the common good.
