Our Mission to Serve

The Mission of The National Catholic Bioethics Center is to provide education, guidance, and resources to the Church and society to uphold the dignity of the human person in health care and biomedical research, thereby sharing in the ministry of Jesus Christ and his Church.

Our Vision Statement

NCBC education, guidance, and resources measurably help bishops and Catholic health care ministries to strengthen the integrity and witness of the Church’s healing ministry;

Catholics and all people of good will effectively draw on the light and life of Jesus Christ and the Catholic moral tradition in addressing ethical challenges in health care and biomedical research; and

The integral understanding of the human person underlying the teachings of the Catholic Church on respect for human life and dignity is better understood and more widely embraced in America and worldwide.
