Brothers, last weekend Bishop Peter Muhich and I released the attached statement to mark the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed South Dakota to protect preborn children from abortion. I hope you will find this pastoral letter, entitled “Bearing the Face of Jesus,” a helpful resource to draw from when presenting the Church’s teaching on our responsibility to protect preborn children from abortion. Please direct any follow-up questions to Michael Pauley with the South Dakota Catholic Conference. Michael can be reached by email at mpauley@sdcatholicconference.org or by phone at 605-389-6565.
