Our Mission
Empowering the faithful with transparency and accountability in Catholic parish life.
Via Aeterna exists to serve the Catholic faithful by providing a comprehensive, searchable database of parishes with Canon Law compliance scoring and verified incident reports.
We believe that transparency strengthens the Church. By documenting liturgical practices and compliance with Canon Law, we help Catholics find parishes that uphold the traditions and teachings of the faith.
Psalm 139:23-24
“Proba me, Deus, et scito cor meum; interroga me, et cognosce semitas meas. Et vide si via iniquitatis in me est; et deduc me in via aeterna.”
“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!”
Matthew 18:15-17
“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church.”
