In today’s episode, we continue our Catholics at the Capitol segment. Today we are featuring Santo Cruz Vice President of Government and Community Relations & Associate General Counsel at CentraCare Health. We discuss the role of the Catholic faith in health care and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on caring for those in need.

In our mailbag segment, we’re covering a question about making end-of-life health care decisions.

And stick around for the bricklayer segment we have details on a great distance learning opportunity for middle and high school students that will teach them how to become effective advocates for life and dignity.
