Directories of Lay Movements, Organizations and Professional Associations

U.S. Directory (2007-2008)

The Directory of Lay Movements, Organizations & Professional Associations contains listings for more than 100 national lay movements, professional associations, and organizations. Each listing includes a brief description of the group and the name, address, phone number of a contact person, and web/e-mail information if available. The groups listed are national in scope, but not all are solely lay. Some are included because their work affects the life and mission of the laity and/or because their membership has a significant lay component.

Copies are $6.00 each (including postage) and may be ordered from:

International Directory

The List of the International Associations of the Faithful is a response to the invitation extended by John Paul II to the Pontifical Council for the Laity in Christifideles Laici to draw up a list of associations which have received the "official recognition and explicit approval" of the Holy See.
