Worthy California Brother Knights,
I am encouraging all members, councils, assemblies
and chapters throughout the state to affirm our commitment
to marriage , family and the gift of life by endorsing and
contributing monetarily in support of Proposition 8.

California's Roman Catholic bishops are urging parishioners
to support a fall ballot measure that seeks The California
Catholic Conference issued a statement Friday strongly
encouraging members of the faith "to provide both the
financial support and the volunteer efforts needed for the
passage of Proposition 8."
In the statement, the bishops say their position is based
partly on the presumption that while all people deserve to
be treated with dignity, being raised by a married mother
and father is "the ideal for the well being of children."
The conference's executive director says the bishops plan to
develop materials that parish priests can use to address the
topic between now and election day.
The conference represents the archdioceses of Los Angeles
and San Francisco and the dioceses of Fresno, Monterey,
Oakland, Orange, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, San
Jose, Santa Rosa and Stockton.
