News & Resources

Catch up on the latest news and announcements from Catholic Extension. FEATURED: The Catholic Church Extension Society, a Papal Organization that supports missions in the United States, is bringing a multi-media exhibit called "Mission America" to New York's National Museum of Catholic Art and History from July 1 through August 13.

Every month, Catholic Extension sheds light on a "Featured Mission" that describes one of the most pressing needs of our U.S. missions. Whether it's for seminarian education, disaster relief, church building or repairs, or simply a request for support to keep the mission going, find out more about our "Mission of the Month" and how you can help.

Please join us and the spiritual community throughout the world as we ponder the same words and share in the same prayers each week. Sign up to receive your weekly meditation from Catholic Extension President Emeritus, Bishop William R. Houck.

The Press Kit documents are in PDF format and are available for download.
