Members of our Diocesan Leadership team, led by Bishop David P. Talley, spent yesterday, February 24, in Nashville at the Tennessee State Capitol for the Annual Catholic Day on the Hill.
Thank you to the Tennessee Catholic Conference (TNCC) for organizing the day that started at the beautiful and historic St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows Catholic Church in Downtown Nashville.
Bishop Talley was joined by Bishop J. Mark Spalding, Nashville, and Bishop Mark Beckman, Knoxville, and met with Governor Bill Lee and several state legislators. The Governor and the three Bishops had a productive discussion addressing several key issues to our Catholic faith including: Education, Immigration, and Right to Life. The same took place with the legislators.
Our Diocesan Memphis team, Dr. Chris Fay, Colleen Goodspeed, George Nixon, and Rick Ouellette, met with a number of state legislators, too, covering the same important topics to our area Catholics.
