ARIZONA CATHOLIC CONFERENCE
Legislative Update (01/31/25)
Happy New Year!
This week was a very busy and productive week for the Bishops of the Arizona Catholic Conference (ACC). The bishops met with a number of key elected officials over two days to discuss a wide variety of important issues.
As always, the highlight of the Capitol visits included the Catholic Schools Rally where almost 1,000 students, parents, teachers, and supporters from throughout Arizona gathered to express support for their schools and for school choice. Altogether, 35 Catholic schools were represented and provided entertainment to the crowd.
We were particularly grateful that, included among the speakers and presenters, were House Speaker Steve Montenegro and Senate President Pro Tempore TJ Shope who made time to be present with the students.
The legislature is already off to a very busy start and we are monitoring a very large number of issues and bills on many fronts. If you are not already receiving our legislative updates, please do so by signing up at www.azcatholicconference.org.
