Welcome to the CATHOLIC AVIATION ASSOCIATION (CAA) website! We have an inspired vision and a far-reaching MISSION. Our VISION is to be a witness for Jesus Christ and the Christian values that are the necessary foundation for a strong and fruitful society. OUR MISSION is to CONNECT Catholics interested or involved in any aspect of aviation, to facilitate networking and support one another as we journey through these challenging times. We want to become THE MEETING PLACE for Catholics in the worldwide aviation community. We invite you to READ THE LETTER from our President, embrace our VISION and COME ABOARD to help us accomplish our MISSION! And be sure to explore our website, especially our CAA News Digest (see menu) and our Being Catholic page.

Seeking Director of Chapter Development
CAA is seeking someone to act in the title of Director of Chapter Development. CAA seeks to develop and provide support for chapters in all 50 states and internationally. If you would be interested in this, or would like to suggest someone qualified and passionate about their Catholic faith, please contact us. (10/14/23)
CAA supports everyone with an interest in any aspect of aviation, aerospace 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.

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.
"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)
