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.

Catholicism has been crafted and refined by a communion of saints to the point where I feel it, and I speak it with my body through ritual and sacrament.

On November 9-11, 2018, hundreds of faithful Catholics gathered in San Antonio, Texas for Call To Action's National Conference, Santuario - Resistencia - Sacramento (Sanctuary - Resistance - Sacrament).

Keynote: Nathan Schneider, Everything for Everyone: The Radical Tradition That Is Shaping the Next Economy.

In December of 2017, Call To Action, FutureChurch and Women’s Ordination Conference unveiled their newest shared campaign, #CatholicToo, as a Catholic response to the outpouring of testimonies from women breaking their silence about harassment and abuse across industries (#MeToo).

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.

Elvira Arellano became a symbol for the rights of undocumented immigrants and families when she decided to take sanctuary in Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago.

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.

The Liturgy Coordinator will also be responsible for working with the Conference Coordinator to ensure the overall flow of all plenary sessions.

The 20/30 Project for Mentoring and Leadership (now called Re/Generation) aims to cultivate young leaders who live in the paradoxes of Catholic identity. This new program brings together young visionaries and change-makers across the country to support and inspire one another as part of a cohort, each discerning and initiating a project that puts faith into action for social justice.

Throughout Lent, members of Call To Action will be writing weekly reflections based on that Sunday’s liturgical readings. Check back at this page each Thursday to read new Lent reflections as they are posted. These reflections are an offering of CTA's Anti-Racism Team.

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.

Excommunication should not be used as a fear tactic, or as punishment for speaking out against injustice. CTA/Nebraska members are faithful Catholics who have worked tirelessly for justice in their church. Instead of being excommunicated, they should be celebrated.

Nearly 22 years after area Catholics were excommunicated for their membership in a national church reform group, the bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska, has proposed a way to end their censure and return them to full communion with the church.

The national Catholic group Call To Action worked behind the scenes and helped finance the gathering as part of its own anti-racism initiative. Zachary Johnson, Call To Action's executive director, was encouraged that laypeople took the lead in organizing and promoting the event.
