Georgetown Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate

The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) is dedicated to placing social science research at the service of the Catholic Church since 1964. CARA provides valuable insights through a variety of research methods, including surveys and focus groups, tailored to meet the needs of parishes, dioceses, and other Catholic organizations.

With a team of experts in fields such as sociology, political science, and religious studies, CARA addresses issues related to church ministry, demographic trends, and program effectiveness. Their comprehensive reports, including data on the Permanent Diaconate and allegations of sexual abuse, inform and support the church's mission and initiatives across the United States.
