Research for the Catholic Church at Catholic University

Telling the Church the truth about herself 

The Catholic University of America is uniquely situated to be a place where the positive contributions and the challenges facing the Catholic Church in the U.S. are researched and faced with faith. The Catholic Project is a research institute dedicated to identifying and responding to the most pressing pastoral challenges of the Church in the U.S. 

We believe, in the words of Lumen Gentium, that by drawing on the contributions of all its members, “the entire Church . . . may more effectively fulfill its mission for the life of the world” (no. 36).
