Europe’s Crisis of Faith

Europe, once a missionary stronghold, is now mission territory. Faith is declining, parishes are shrinking, and a generation is growing up without a personal encounter with Christ.

Key challenges we face:

of Catholics in Austria no longer practice their faith
0 %
of Catholic youth in Europe participate in any parish activity monthly
0 %
of Spaniards still practice Catholicism, down from 56% in 1979
0 %

Why now?

The Church is being reorganized. Parishes are disappearing. And many young people are ready to serve—but lack a clear path. That’s why we believe now is the time to act, train, and send a new generation into Europe’s cities, campuses, and communities.

“The Church has the urgent task of bringing the liberating message of the Gospel to the men and women of Europe.”
