About "National Call to Action"
“Let your light shine, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your God.” (Matthew 5:16)
Call to Action (CTA) is a National Catholic movement working for equality and justice in the Church and society. An independent national organization of over 25,000 people and 53 local chapters, CTA believes that the Spirit of God is at work in the whole church, not just in its appointed leaders. The entire Catholic Church has the obligation of responding to the needs of the world and taking initiative in programs of peace and justice. CTA draws its mission from the US Bishops 1976 Call to Action Conference and the document “Call to Reform in the Catholic Church.”
