Asking you to support our work with a donation is an essential ritual like setting the table before a celebration. Will you bring your gifts to the table now? 

We are building a home for Christ coming as a young person, an old person, a person of color, an LGBTQ person, a person on the margins of the church — and we can only do this with your help.

CTA recently purchased the “Rye House,” a Catholic Worker house in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

As Catholics we know that no one — not least parents who want to adopt a child — should be discriminated against because of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Black and Latine Catholics, queer Catholics, women called to ordained ministry—the Church hierarchy is slow to listen to us. We Re/Generators are working to change that.

CTA is once more growing, and growing stronger from our core. As we close 2020, I thank you for your commitment. Together, we can make 2021 transformative.

Forty-four years after bishops convened the first CTA conference in 1976, what has endured and indeed flourished? The following reports on CTA now through this lens.

If you’re able, will you chip in right now to help our Re/Generators continue their work building Christian community?

Judge Barrett — a Mike Pence Catholic — must not become the face of Catholicism in America.

As summer comes to an end, we at Call To Action once more look back and look forward—at what we have cultivated and at what has emerged organically. We invite you to plant your resources and grow our Church with us, through our campaign for vital, coordinated church reform.

We are living through a radical reclamation of the story of the United States, and I believe that Call To Action must play a role.  

“We in CTA must not only envision the future, but help each other survive now. And that will lead us to a future that endures.” – CTA’s delfín bautista

At CTA, we believe it is our challenging and urgent task to build a community that includes progressive Catholics of every age, who are at any stage of the faith journey.

The People’s History of Vatican II helps us strengthen our roots, passes on wisdom to future generations of Catholic reformers, and builds our long-term capacity as a Catholic social justice organization.

The Re/Generation Project is just one example of some of the new projects taking root at CTA. As you may know, our Vision Council recently announced that we have begun the hard work of reshaping our organization.

The Vatican II Listening Project is an effort to collect and record the memories, stories, wisdom and lessons from the people who were shaped by the reforms and promise of the Second Vatican Council.

After spending a weekend with our Young Leaders, I couldn’t help but be moved from a place of fear and inaction to hope and commitment.

Young Adults are not the “future” of the church-- we are the living, breathing church here and now! Call To Action’s viability now and into the future is contingent on our ability to engage with these young activists.

If 2017 was the year for planting, 2018 is the year we begin harvesting the fruits of our labor. And so, I am excited to write to you about one program that will be the centerpiece of our work in the new year.

The 20/30 Project will mentor, empower and educate a diverse cohort of young adult Catholic leaders throughout 2018.
