We are an association of U.S. Catholic priests, offering mutual support and a collegial voice.  We are engaged in contemplation, dialogue, and prophetic action on issues affecting Church and society.

ABOUT THE 2013 ASSEMBLY IN SEATTLE

-----------------------------------------------------

On August 25, 2011, twenty-seven priests representing 15 dioceses from 11 states and one religious order, meeting on the grounds of St. Mary's Seminary, Mundelein, IL, founded our association.  Subsequently we sent a letter to the USCCB informing its president, Archbishop Timothy Dolan and member diocesan bishops of this step, taking into account the relevant paragraphs in Canon Law.

Our hope is that US priests will join in this effort so that the initiative of a group that began with "Vatican II Priests" can be helpful for its members by being a VOICE FOR PRIESTS.
