Welcome to the Catholic Advocate Network (CAN)
|
The Catholic Advocate Network ("CAN") is the grassroots public
policy initiative of the Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls, South
Dakota.
Many dioceses belong to a state Catholic Conference that conducts
the public policy activities for the member dioceses in that state.
In the absence of a Catholic Conference in South Dakota, CAN was
created to educate, inform, alert, and hopefully inspire
participation in governmental processes, which, in our country, is
one of the most direct and effective ways of ensuring that the laws
and policies of our communities, state, and nation are structured on
sound moral principles.
CAN is
centered upon the commitment and dedication of CAN Legislative
Liaisons from across the diocese, who develop their own network of
CAN members. In addition to this website, information and alerts
are passed on by the diocese through emails and other means, to
Legislative Liaisons who then pass the information on through their
local networks. If you would like additional information on
CAN,
