Christ calls us to protect and serve.

Catholics in Defense is a laity-led, members-only group seeking to glorify God through our work in military, law enforcement, and adjacent institutions and industries.

While most of our members reside in the Washington Metropolitan (DC) Area, we welcome Catholics from across the U.S.

During this tumultuous time for America, Catholics must lead with moral courage and daily faithfulness. Catholics in Defense is a community of friends, united in our baptism, who build and pray for that vision.
