Welcome to the Catholic Conference of Kentucky’s website. If you are a Kentucky Catholic, please become a Faithful Citizen Advocate and invite other Kentucky Catholics to join too.
The Catholic Conference of Kentucky (CCK) was created in 1984 by the Roman Catholic bishops of Kentucky. Its mission is to represent the Church and the state’s four Roman Catholic dioceses in public policy matters on both the state and federal level.
Who we are
Updated: June 30, 2022
CCK is calling upon all citizens to thoughtfully and prayerfully consider and vote “YES for Life” this November by supporting Amendment #2. This proposed constitutional amendment is very simple and will prevent our state courts from ever issuing a decision like Roe v. Wade. It adds one sentence to the Kentucky Constitution: “To protect human life, nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.”

HB 269 will limit the use of the death penalty in Kentucky
On April 8, 2022, Governor Andy Beshear signed HB 269 into law. The legislation would eliminate the death penalty for individuals diagnosed with a severe mental illness. We appreciate Governor Beshear's support and are grateful for the large bipartisan majority in the Kentucky General Assembly that sent this legislation to his desk.
