Ut Unum Sint

The Catholic League is an ecumenical society based in England, founded in 1913 to promote the unity of Christians. It supports the Catholic ecumenical movement and encourages the journey of all towards the visible unity of the whole Church in communion with the Bishop of Rome, and his ministry of reconciliation as successor to St Peter the apostle to 'strengthen his brothers'.

It was founded by Anglicans who believed passionately that the future of their Church lay in the reunion of all Christians in a common Catholic and Apostolic faith in restored full communion with the Successor of Peter in the see of Rome. Nowadays, our members include Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Eastern Catholic, Free Church Christians and any who support the Catholic ecumenical movement and the League's four objects:

- The promotion of fellowship among those who profess the Catholic faith
- The union of all Christians with the Apostolic See of Rome
- The spread of the Catholic faith, and
- The deepening of the spiritual life.

Blessed John Henry Newman Fund: Donate to the Ordinariate

In 2010, The Catholic League established the Blessed John Henry Newman Fund to received funds and donations for the new Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham and its membership groups before it was able to establish itself as a charity with its own bank account. We have now wound down the Fund refer donors to the Ordinariate itself. Existing regular donations to the Fund are forward to the Ordinariate.

Since the Fund's inception, the Catholic League has raised nearly £70,000 for the Ordinariate, including Gift Aid that would otherwise not have been recoverable. This is on top of our own grants to support the work of the Ordinary direct.

Thank you for your generosity!

Prayer of Blessed John Henry Newman for Christian Unity

O Lord Jesus Christ, who, when You were about to suffer, prayed for Your discipes to the end of time that they might all be one, as You are in the Father and the Father in You:

Look down in pity on the manifold divisions among those who profess Your faith, and heal the many wounds which the pride of man and the craft of Satan have inflicted upon Your people.

Break down the walls of separation which divide one part and denomination of Christians from another.

Teach all that the See of St Peter, the Holy Church of Rome, is the foundation, centre and instrument of unity.

Open their hearts to the long-forgotten truth that our Holy Father, the Pope, is Your vicar and representative; and that in obeying him in matters of religion they are obeying You, so that, as there is but one holy company in heaven above, so likewise there may be but one communion, confessing and glorifying Your holy Name here below.

From Newman's Meditations & Devotions
