2008 by the document of the Hungarian Catholic Episcopal Conference on the protection of the created world called” Our Responsibility for The Created World” based on „… all things have been created through him and for him” (Col 1:16)

• Founded in 2018, by Cardinal Péter Erdő to build a professional network of the Catholic society in Hungary and the Carpathian Basin.

• Created for the goal to form a structured Catholic professional network that makes Christian values visible to society.
