Future Church
www.futurechurch.org

FutureChurch is a national coalition of parish-based Catholics who seek the full participation of all baptized Catholics in the life of the Church. Inspired by Vatican II, FutureChurch recognizes that Eucharistic Celebration (the Mass) is the core of Roman Catholic worship and sacramental life. FutureChurch advocates that this celebration be available universally and at least weekly to all baptized Catholics.

To achieve these goals, FutureChurch advocates discussion of the ordination of all baptized persons who are called to priestly ministry by God and the people of God. FutureChurch works with an attitude of respect for the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church and its current position on ordination. Through open, prayerful and enlightened discussion and through dialogue with other Catholics locally and globally, we seek to participate in formulating and expressing the Sensus Fidelium(the Spirit-inspired beliefs of the faithful) with respect to the Eucharist and ordained ministry.
