2. The USCCB will vote for the chairmanships of six of its committees during the bishops’ annual fall General Assembly, Nov. 11-14, at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott Hotel.

3. Domestic violence shatters the peace that should reside in relationships and especially in the family, the domestic church. Learn what the Church teaches about combating this problem as we focus on it in October.
