September 30, 2005 - Statement of the Archdiocese on Marriage Petition and Schools

(Brighton, MA) September 30, 2005...The Archdiocese of Boston wishes to clarify that its Catholic school students will not and should not be asked to bring home the marriage petition paperwork as has been previously reported.

For information about the petition drive, people can contact the Massachusetts Catholic Conference (MCC) for either an email version of the petition or to request it by mail. MCC's number is 617-367-6060; their web page is www.macathconf.org.

The petition will also be available at individual parishes. Parishes have been asked to assist in this effort by collecting signatures after Masses or at other parish events.
