About Catholic Voices

Catholic Voices is a project which began in the UK to improve the Church's representation in the public sphere, above all in news programs and debates. We also run training talks and workshops in parishes, schools, and universities as well as many other settings on how to defend the faith with charity and clarity. 

Catholic Voices and St. John Henry Newman

We are working to fulfil Newman's desire to see a laity...

"not arrogant, not rash in speech, not disputatious, but men [and women] who know their religion, who enter into it, who know just where they stand, who know what they hold and what they do not, who know their creed so well that they can give an account of it, who know so much of history that they can defend it. I want an intelligent, well-instructed laity – I wish [them] to enlarge [their] knowledge, to cultivate [their] reason, to get an insight into the relation of truth to truth, to learn to view things as they are, to understand how faith and reason stand to each other, what are the bases and principles of Catholicism."
(Sermon 9, Duties of Catholics towards the Protestant View, 1851)

Praying with the News

Every week we see stories in the media that inspire, some that anger us, and some that sadden our hearts. Catholic Voices believes that if we are to comment fruitfully and faithfully on these varying topics, we must pray for all those involved in the media, those involved in each news story, and above all to pray for God's Kingdom to come. Please join us in our prayer.

Catholic Voices Prayer

God our Father, Bless and guide all those involved in Catholic Voices. Give us the gifts of the Holy Spirit that we need for this work, especially wisdom, gentleness, courage and joy. Help us to be faithful to Christ and to his Church, and to be open to the questions that people bring us. Help us to love and respect all those we meet. Support us in our difficulties and setbacks. May our words and the witness of our lives give you glory and help others to be more open to you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
