CMA International

Catholic means universal, and in addition to being the AMI's UK rep, working with other nations is very important for the CMA.

Using our model, sister organisations are springing up globally, encouraging their Catholic military personnel to fully live their vocation too.
In addition to CMA-US and CMA-Canada, CMAs are currently developing in a number of other countries. If you feel called to support the establishment of a CMA in your own country, get in touch.
