Sidewalk Advocates for Life: compassionately, non-confrontationally present for women in need
The group will hold training for pastorally helping mothers consider alternatives to abortion
By Jay Sorgi
for the RegisterLisa McInerney says she’s doing nothing more than extending invitations to women for thought, reflection, prayer and a choice for life—the human life inside them.
She and her Lincoln team work with Sidewalk Advocates for Life, a national organization of volunteers who go to the streets near abortion centers. Their goal is to pastorally, compassionately and non-confrontationally become present to a mother’s need as she discerns aborting a child, and help her see she can bring the child into the world.

Director of Marketing and Outreach
Opportunity Scholarships of NebraskaIn the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 22, the Pharisees approach Jesus with what they think is a pretty clever question: “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
Our Lord, aware of their intentions to trap him, points them to Caesar’s inscription on their coins and said, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”

‘One Heart in Christ’: an update on the pastoral plan
By Jennifer A. Gutierrez
for the RegisterChoose one thing—and put your whole heart into it.
That’s the One Heart in Christ call for each parish in the Lincoln Diocese.
In January 2025, a diocesan-wide effort was launched to create One Heart in Christ—the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln’s first ever pastoral plan. A pastoral plan establishes a shared vision for the future and guides the diocese’s mission and ministry. It outlines pastoral principles that shepherd the goals, priorities, and action steps to be achieved over a five-year time frame. Led by the Holy Spirit, it is a collaborative partnership between the lay faithful in the parishes, the priests and religious, and the bishop and his team.
