CAPP-USA

CAPP is a lay-led, pontifical organization characterized by a special relationship with our founder, St. John Paul the Great, and his successors to the Chair of Peter, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis.  The Holy Father sees CAPP as a vehicle for lay education and evangelization of Catholic social doctrine.

Saint John Paul the Great established Fondazione Centesimus Annus -- Pro Pontifice (CAPP) on June 5, 1993, just two years after writing his seminal encyclical on the modern social condition, Centesimus Annus.

Our mission is to evangelize lay Catholic leaders -- to help form their consciences on the principles of Catholic Social Teaching (CST) and support their initiatives to implement it in the various sectors of society.
