The Foundation of religion and worship “Centesimus Annus – Pro Pontifice” is based in the State of Vatican City and governed by the Church’s Canon Law and the Civil Law of the State of Vatican City, as well as by its By-Laws.

 

Article 3 of the By-Laws, having stated that the Foundation’s specific purpose is to collaborate towards the diffusion of human, ethical, social and Christian values, which are described in particular in the Encyclical “Centesimus Annus”, indicates the following goals:

 

  • promoting informed knowledge of the social teachings of the Church and of the activity of the Holy See among qualified and socially motivated business and professional leaders;
  • promoting initiatives aimed at expanding the Church’s effective role in all sectors of contemporary society;
  • promoting fund raising activities to help support the activity of the Apostolic See.
A characteristic peculiar to the Foundation is the spiritual animation of founding and adhering members provided by ecclesiastical counsellors appointed by the Italian Episcopal Conference upon recommendation by the Board.  It focuses in particular on the goals listed above and takes place at periodic or ad hoc meetings and special events.
