Oct. 26, 2025 | Catholic Extension Society provides much-needs support in dioceses across the country

The Catholic Extension Society has been helping mission dioceses in the United States since 1905. Father Jack Wall, a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago, has been its president since 2007. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talked with Father Wall about the ways that Catholic Extension helps almost half of the dioceses in the US find the resources they need to ensure the church is vibrant and transformative in those areas.
