EVENTS
Across the Diocese

Catholic Days at the Capital
Sponsored by the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee Office of Advocacy and Justice. Each year Catholics from around the state gather in Tallahassee to participate in Catholic Days at the Capitol.

By joining with Floridians who share our faith to advocate for laws that protect and defend human life and dignity, we can give a voice to some of the most vulnerable and marginalized populations in our state and help promote the common good for all of Florida's residents.
