Why?
The Federation of Catholic Priests (FCP) was established in 1917 as a national organisation in order to present ‘a united front in the propagation and defence of the faith, worship and discipline of the Catholic Church’.
During the following decades the Federation has continued to grow and has campaigned to ensure that a Catholic voice was heard in the Church Assembly continues to be heard in its successor, the General Synod. The Federation works in cooperation with other Catholic societies with similar objectives, especially the Church Union, Forward in Faith and the Society of the Holy Cross.
