A quarterly series of papers on the praxis, theology, and content of missionary activity.

U.S. Catholic Mission Handbook
A statistical survey of U.S. Catholic missioners serving in global and cross-cultural ministry.

USCMA collaborates on various levels with different mission education, peace and justice and advocacy organizations and agencies. We participate in several coalitions, campaigns and working groups that examine U.S. international public policy and advocate on behalf of missioners and marginalized people around the world.

USCMA urges its members to learn about and reflect upon international justice issues. Then, as informed members of the global church, they are encouraged to approach the appropriate entities - government, corporate or other - with their requests for changes in policies or procedures that are not in accordance with the Gospel. Each year USCMA votes on several Resolutions at the annual meeting and often includes education on the topic of the Resolution as well as possible action steps (for example, writing to members of Congress and to corporate officials or attending events) to bring about positive change.
