Catholics United for the Faith
 
 


Catholics United for the Faith is a lay apostolate founded in 1968 to support, defend, and advance the efforts of the teaching Church.

Our founder, H. Lyman Stebbins, said that CUF exists “to be a little alarm clock to wake people up, and then a center around which they can rally, and act in the way befitting members of Christ’s true Church.”

CUF’s sole purpose is to help build up the Church and her members. When you support CUF, you help ensure that the Catholic faith is conveyed accurately and authentically.

From Our Founder

To quite an extraordinary degree we laymen have been invited to serve; we have received a visitation; God through His Church is telling us things. As we have said in our CUF brochure, we believe that the Council documents on the Apostolate of the Laity and on the Church are “prophetic” in having seen that the Church is entering the “age of the laity.” That means the response of large numbers of laymen to the call to perfection; it means an awakening to the depth and totality of Christ’s call; it means a real conversion into that leaven, that salt, that light which Christ has asked-and allows-us to be, so that the world can be permeated by the spirit of the Gospel, can be raised as by leaven, can be given savor as by salt, can be illumined as by a great light shining in a great darkness. That, we believe, is the task of evangelization assigned to the laity.
