A group of Catholic priests has come out in support of a bill that would require all adoption agencies that receive federal funding to place children with same-sex couples.
The Association of U.S. Catholic Priests, which describes itself as “a pastoral voice of compassion, hope and joy in our pilgrim church and world,” has expressed support for the Every Child Deserves a Family Act.
According to the Lepanto Institute, a research and education organization dedicated to preserving the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church, the bill “would effectively shut down the adoption services of Catholic Charities by mandating homosexual adoptions as well as potentially adopting children to couples of any belief system, including active satanists.”

For Christmas 2020, the Mid-Ohio Valley Toys for Tots program was able to help over 700 families (many with multiple children) and multiple organizations on both sides of the Ohio River.
“The Mid-Ohio Valley has been very giving to those less fortunate and has made what could be a tremendous shortfall into yet another successful campaign,” said Cliff Hecker, coordinator of Mid-Ohio Valley Toys for Tots. “Especially with the pandemic, layoffs and other struggles of 2020, I am so proud of and grateful to our community for stepping up this year where they could and helping us (Toys for Tots) reach our toy goals.”
