Welcome to the website of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate, Incarnation Region. The MCA is a Catholic lay apostolate of approximately 1,000 men and women in areas ranging from the United States to Mexico to Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. MCA members come from all walks of life, serving in a variety of professional capacities. They are executives, stay at home moms, academics, laborers, attorneys, social workers and retirees. MCA members try to live out their faith every day right where they are- at home and at work. Who might be drawn to a vocation in the MCA? Catholics who seek to live an active faith that is mission-minded typically find the MCA a welcome compliment to weekly parish membership.

If you want to bring your Sunday faith into the rest of the week, the MCA may be for you. The Missionary Cenacle Apostolate is a lay apostolate for Roman Catholics who want an active faith that is lived out in everyday life. The Incarnation Region of the MCA spans from Ohio to Massachusetts and all the way down to Virginia. If we can help you in any way as you discover the MCA, please let us know. Peace!
