National Catholic Prayer Breakfast

The National Catholic Prayer Breakfast is an annual lay prayer event and banquet that takes place in Washington, D.C. It was created in response to Pope John Paul II's call for a new evangelization, and involves a keynote speaker each year. According to progressive Catholic commentator Fr Thomas J. Reese "The conservative tilt of the NCPB has led some Catholics to call on it to change its name to the National Republican Prayer Breakfast." == History == It was established in 2004 and its "founding circle" members included Joseph Cella, Leonard Leo, and Rick Santorum, among others.
