Archbishop Vigneron’s statement on the 2024 election

On November 7, 2024, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron shared the following statement regarding the 2024 election:

With the conclusion of the 2024 election, let us give thanks to God for our right to help choose those who will serve as his stewards in civil office, and let us pray for the men and women elected to serve our country.

This is also a time to acknowledge that we are, first and foremost, members of the Body of Christ, citizens of heaven, united in our call to witness Christ’s love and peace to the world. This is our eternal identity, unaffected by changes in worldly leadership. Acting as one in Christ, aided by the intercession of our Blessed Mother, patroness of our country, may we remain steadfast in our commitment to live out the Gospel in all that we do, serving as a beacon of hope and unity in a divided society.
