The Convention for the Common Good July 11–13, 2008 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Sheraton Philadelphia City Center Hotel

During the 2008 Election season, Catholic groups and other social justice organizations have come together to try to change the national conversation to include a substantive discussion of government for the common good. Catholics and people of faith across the country will gather together this summer for a historic meeting – The Convention for the Common Good.
