Inspired by their faith, many Catholics come together to form lay organizations dedicated to various aspects of promoting the Gospel in the world. Some of these are dedicated to promoting family life. Others are concerned with assistance to those in need. Some work for justice and the protection of innocent human life.

The organizations listed here are but a few of the many groups in Maine initiated and directed by lay persons for the building up of the Kingdom of God in our State.
