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.

Famous quotes containing the words catholic and/or voices:
“One cannot really be a Catholic and grown up.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“The confirmation of Clarence Thomas, one of the most conservative voices to be added to the [Supreme] Court in recent memory, carries a sobering message for the African- American community.... As he begins to make his mark upon the lives of African Americans, we must acknowledge that his successful nomination is due in no small measure to the support he received from black Americans.”
—Kimberly Crenshaw (b. 1959)
