The family, in turn, is the basic unit of society. Thus, marriage is a personal relationship with public significance. Courts in nearby states have redefined marriage as something other than a relationship between one man and one women. Precisely because the family is the primary cell of human society, we all must be involved in establishing the definition of marriage which reflects the values of the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Legislature is considering SB 1250 which will amend the Pennsylvania Constitution to define marriage as the union between one man and one woman, and will prevent civil unions, which are in effect the same as marriage. Your state representative and state senator need to hear from you that marriage makes a difference. Log onto www. pacatholic.org to send a message telling your legislators to support the marriage amendment and check out www.PA4marriage.org for more ideas about how you can get involved in the effort to protect and preserve marriage. Please send post cards to your state senators and representatives supporting the Marriage Protection Amendment, SB1250. Thank you.
