Join us in praying a Novena for the Electorate
The Most Reverend W. Shawn McKnight, Bishop of Jefferson City, is inviting Catholics across our diocese to unite in prayer in the nine days leading up to the November 5, 2024, General Election. By joining in this Novena, we will help cultivate a spirit of mercy in ourselves and in our communities, praying for compassion, understanding, and respect for one another — especially when opinions differ.
Understanding Amendment 3
As we approach this year's November elections, it is imperative that we discuss Amendment 3, which would end our state's ban on direct abortion.
