Election Day - November 3, 2026
Bishop Kulick's Message on Faithful Citizenship and the Upcoming Election:
As we prepare for the upcoming election, Bishop Larry J. Kulick has issued an important pastoral message reflecting on our responsibilities as Catholics and citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Bishop Kulick encourages all faithful to pray, inform their consciences, learn where candidates stand on important issues such as the dignity of human life, education, religious freedom, and immigration, and faithfully exercise their right to vote.
All parishioners are encouraged to read Bishop Kulick’s complete message and reflect on his call to responsible citizenship and faithful participation in public life.
The full message and video are available by visiting: theaccentonline.org/Bishop/
Bishop Kulick encourages the faithful to take time to read it or watch the video prayerfully as we prepare for Election Day.
