Lumen Christi, Catholic Charities encourage voters with separate events

Catholic Charities Twin Cities and Lumen Christi Catholic Church will host separate events to encourage voter participation.

Catholic Charities Twin Cities will hold a pop-up event at its Higher Ground Minneapolis campus on Oct. 24 from noon to 3 p.m. The event is open to any Minneapolis voter but intends to provide housing residents and shelter guests with easier access to voting. The Higher Ground campus contains an emergency shelter and three apartment facilities.

Lumen Christi in St. Paul will host a Honk and Wave event in Highland Park on Oct. 25 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Organized by the Faith in Action: Bringing Christ’s Light to Public Life discipleship program, participants will stand at the corners of Cleveland Avenue and Ford Parkway with homemade signs to encourage registered voters. The group will distribute voter information and end the event with prayer and reflection at the parish.
