Catholic Revival

The Catholic Revival was a 19th and early 20th-century movement that aimed to renew and strengthen Catholic faith, practice, and influence amid societal changes and Protestant dominance. It involved emphasizing traditional doctrines, promoting religious education, and restoring Catholic presence in public life. Key figures and initiatives sought to address modern challenges by fostering deepened faith, improving church structures, and encouraging active lay participation. This movement contributed to the global growth of the Catholic Church and a reaffirmation of its core principles during a time of significant social and cultural transformation.
