From Our Founder

[CUF�s] third purpose is to further the all-important renewal which the documents of the recent Council call for and which Pope Paul has described as an inner, personal, moral renewal. This purpose is, of course, the first in importance, and is a pre-requisite for the others. It means that we exist in order to respond publicly and together to what Vatican II called the universal vocation to holiness.
