Catholic Days at the Capitol
Catholic Days at the Capitol is scheduled for February 10-11, 2026. Each year during the Florida legislative session, Catholics from across the state gather in Tallahassee to bring the light of faith to the public square and live out Church teaching through civic engagement. United with the bishops, Catholic Days pilgrims advocate for the protection of human life and dignity as lawmakers shape Florida’s laws for the common good. By making the trip to our state capitol and lifting their voices, event participants help make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of all Floridians.
