President Obama Selects Catholics for Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good is proud that President Barack Obama has chosen several prominent Catholics to serve as advisors on his Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. The council will provide the Administration with timely and thoughtful perspectives on such essential issues as poverty, abortion, health care and immigration reform, and environmental stewardship.

The following Catholic leaders named by President Obama embody the best of our Catholic social justice tradition in public life. We congratulate them on their distinguished appointment and dedicated service to the common good.
