Creating faith-informed research that serves the most vulnerable
As a new 501(c)(3), we commit to the highest standards of accountability and transparency
Our work is rooted in Catholic social teaching and guided by the fundamental belief in the dignity of every human person, especially the most vulnerable.
Every person is created in the image and likeness of God and possesses inherent dignity.
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. - Genesis 1:27
Application to Our Mission:
Our research recognizes the sacred worth of every person, especially the most vulnerable among us.
The Church calls us to have special concern for the marginalized and oppressed.
Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. - Luke 6:20
Application to Our Mission:
We prioritize research that serves those most at risk of exploitation and trafficking.
We are called to work for justice and stand against all forms of oppression.
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. - Isaiah 1:17
Application to Our Mission:
Our evidence-based research informs policy and practice to protect the vulnerable.

The great theologian and philosopher reminds us that reason and faith work together in seeking truth. His dedication to rigorous study inspires our commitment to evidence-based research in service of justice.
St. Thomas Aquinas, guide our research with wisdom and help us discover truths that will protect the vulnerable.
Heavenly Father, we lift up all those who are vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking. Surround them with Your protection and guide our research efforts to be instruments of their safety and freedom. Grant us wisdom to understand the complexities of human terrain and courage to advocate for justice. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
As we conduct our research, we are reminded of Christ's call to 'love our neighbor as ourselves.' In every data point, we see a human story. In every analysis, we seek pathways to protection and prevention. May our work be a prayer in action for those who cannot speak for themselves.
"Our research is our prayer, our analysis is our advocacy, and our findings are our call to action. Guided by Catholic social teaching and inspired by the saints who have gone before us, we work tirelessly to protect God's most precious children from exploitation and harm."
