A National Catholic Movement of Public Witness

The Season of Faithful Witness is a national Catholic movement calling individuals, parishes, and communities to live their faith through visible, collective public witness.

From Ash Wednesday through Corpus Christi, Catholics and people of goodwill are invited to participate in a shared season of:

• Moral courage

• Public solidarity

• Prayerful presence

• Commitment to human dignity

This is more than an event series — it is a prophetic wave of faith in action.
