9-23-23 To be clear, CAA is unambiguously pro-life from conception to natural death. "It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop. A society lacks solid foundations when, on the one hand, it asserts values such as the dignity of the person, justice and peace, but then, on the other hand, radically acts to the contrary by allowing or tolerating a variety of ways in which human life is devalued and violated, especially where it is weak or marginalized. Only respect for life can be the foundation and guarantee of the most precious and essential goods of society, such as democracy and peace. Pope John Paul II, Evangelium vitae (1995), no. 101 (more later)

CAA seeks to support everyone with an interest in any aspect of aviation and flying.
An airplane flies over and everyone looks up. We see someone flying an RC model and we pause to watch. We see a movie with flying in it and we think “I want to do that”. Maybe flying a simulator captures our thoughts. It seems we are naturally drawn to the fascinating world of flight. Whatever the aviation interest and goals one has, CAA seeks to help you in your pursuits. We are continually building a database of members and their interests which may be consulted to find other members with similar interests, and where knowledge and assistance can be obtained and shared.
CAA fosters fellowship among Catholics in the aviation community by establishing and supporting a network of Catholic Aviation Association Chapters.
God intends for us to live with a relationship with Him and with each other. Chapters bring together Catholics involved in all aspect of aviation and provide a venue for planning and participating in various activities, sharing/developing aviation knowledge/skills, and growing in faith. We encourage family participation.

"In the Divine Comedy, Dante wrote that praying without the patronage of Our Lady is like wanting to fly without wings. Let us then confide to Our Lady this heartfelt yearning and desire. The hands of Mary will be, for our prayer, a pair of pure wings that will carry it, with certainty, to the throne of God." (Quote from https://americaneedsfatima.org/articles/may-the-month-of-mary)
Most Holy Mary, Our Lady of Loreto, we ask you to carry our prayer for the Catholic Aviation Association to God, Our Father.
Oh God, we seek to carry out Your divinely commissioned mission of taking the Good News of Your Son, Jesus Christ, into all the world. We seek especially to reach the world of aviation with His redeeming message of hope and salvation. We ask You to send the Holy Spirit before us to inspire the People of God to support this endeavor so that, in this difficult time in our beloved country, we may become a strong aviation arm, to help bring renewal to the culture, and hope, strength and opportunity to those who wish to rise up like eagles. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
Our Lady of Loreto, pray for us. St. Joseph of Cupertino, pray for us.
