BISHOPS' ELECTION STATEMENT
📅 28 October 2026 | 🏛️ Bishop's Office
As the General Election nears, Catholics are encouraged to read the bishops' 2026 election statement, Discerning our nation’s future through a Gospel lens. It invites Catholics and people of good will to consider voting as a moral and civic responsibility, not just a matter of personal preference. The bishops urge people to consider how they will cast their votes by reviewing candidates' and parties' positions across a range of key issues, and they also encourage people to pray for the country.
