Catholic Day on the Hill 2008 was a GREAT Success! Wednesday April 9th, 2008 was our 11th Annual Catholic Day on the Hill. We
had over 500 Catholics from across the state come to Nashville to join in a
day of prayer, education, and advocacy. Many participants met with their
Senators and Representatives. Others watched legislative committee meetings.
The Catholic Public Policy Commission would like to thank everyone who
participated in the day.
We would also like to thank:
Michelle Puryear for sharing her story of passing "Claire's Law" which
requires newborns to have hearing screenings.
Pam Beaver for coordinating the mass that was celebrated at St. Mary's
Church.
Paul Beavin and Annie Musacchio for being volunteers for the day.
Father Ragan Schriver and his graduate student volunteers for coordinating
the Student Program.
Kathleen Murphy (Event Coordinator and CPPC Staff) and
Jennifer Murphy (CPPC Executive Director)
