The Catholic Herald has partnered with America250 to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, joining national efforts to commemorate one of the most consequential moments in American history.

America250 is the national non-partisan organisation charged by Congress with encouraging Americans to reflect on the country’s founding, honour its history and take part in local and national events ahead of July 4, 2026. The US Semiquincentennial Commission was established by Congress in 2016 to plan the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
