Monday, January 26th was Catholic Advocacy Day in Richmond bringing the Catholic Church's concerns about issues of social justice to our elected representatives in Richmond. Father Tuck led a team from St. Anthony of Padua who joined with other parishes from both the Arlington and Richmond Dioceses to spend the day in Richmond meeting with the Governor, state senators, and delegates. The pictures show:
