Founded in 2011, the Association of US Catholic Priests (AUSCP) is the largest association of priests in the United States. Our mission is to offer mutual support and a collegial voice for US Catholic priests through dialogue, contemplation and prophetic action on issues affecting Church and society. 

All members are priests in good standing in dioceses and religious communities. Inspired by the teaching of Vatican II, we support the continuing pursuit of its implementation. We invite the support of friends to whom and with whom we minister, whose faith and support emboldens us.

To be “priests’ voice of hope and joy,” we must listen to our members and friends — on line, in person and at our national assemblies. We do. Then we share our common concerns with church and world through prophetic advocacy.
