To: All priests, deacons and principals

Earlier this year, we were extremely disappointed to report that a bill regarding the death penalty passed the S.C. Senate without the opportunity for public comment. In fact, death by firing squad was added in the Senate version of the bill.

That legislation is now coming before the S.C. House judiciary committee, and seemingly has the votes to pass. Gov. Henry McMaster has indicated on more than one occasion that he will sign this legislation.

It is long past time to abolish the death penalty in South Carolina.

We urge members of the S.C. House of Representatives to vote against this bill, and to redirect the energy and resources that currently go toward executions into providing assistance to victims’ families. Please share this link with parishioners and fellow Catholics so we can all contact our House member directly to oppose issue Catholic Conference Action Center. Once the brief form has been completed a message will appear that can be sent directly to your representative.

Every person is created in the image and likeness of God. We do not need to find more ways to execute our brothers and sisters. We must protect their lives from the moment of conception to natural death.
