About The Society of Catholic Scientists:
The Society of Catholic Scientists is an international lay organization founded in June of 2016 to foster fellowship among Catholic scientists and to witness to the harmony of faith and reason. The Society is an answer to the call of Pope St. John Paul II that “members of the Church who are active scientists” be of service to those who are attempting to “integrate the worlds of science and religion in their own intellectual and spiritual lives” In its first eight years, the SCS has grown to over 2,500 members in over 60 countries. The SCS is listed in the Official Catholic Directory of the USCCB and is a 501(c)(3) organization under the Internal Revenue Code. The New Mexico Regional Chapter was founded in September 2019, as the first officially recognized regional chapter of SCS in the world. We seek to carry out the mission of the SCS within the New Mexico region.
