In August 2010 it was announced that, together with Jack Valero, Austen Ivereigh would head up a media group, known as Catholic Voices, which was set up to respond to opposition to the visit of the Pope to the UK in September 2010. It has since continued its work to provide a range of Catholic lay people for media interviews in support of Catholic viewpoints, and offers training and workshops. Inspired by the success of Catholic Voices, similar groups have appeared across the world, notably in Spain and Mexico, where Ivereigh and Valero have travelled to give training.
