Catholics United for the Faith (CUF) is an international lay apostolate, building on the only sure foundation for happiness and renewal of the family and society: the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church.

Founded by H. Lyman Stebbins in 1968 to support, defend, and advance the efforts of the teaching Church, CUF has helped tens of thousands of people discover and strengthen their Catholic faith.

From Our Founder

Genuine renewal is what CUF is ultimately seeking to further. And genuine renewal is, as Pope Paul has stressed again and again, an inner, personal, moral, and religious renewal; because there can be no genuine renewal in the Church except by the individual response of her members to the universal vocation to holiness. Many of our chapters have begun primarily as groups who come together to deepen their spiritual life and their knowledge of the Church-especially of the documents of Vatican II. It is astonishing how different they are from that cloudy “spirit of Vatican II’ which is used so powerfully to undermine the Church.
