Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Through collective insight and unwavering commitment to the teachings of the Church, AUSCP is taking spirit-filled action to meet the challenges facing our Church, society and the world. Together we are working to banish exclusion, address clericalism and ensure women’s proper, co-responsible role in the Church.
We are unified in our ongoing work to focus on the common good and promote a synodal dialogue that forms all of the people of God. Your support of our 2026 Appeal is needed now more than ever to make our work possible. The gift you make amplifies our collective voice as we work together to make the vision and values of Vatican II a reality.
With hope, joy, and blessings,

Fr. Steve Newton, CSC
