The Catholic News Agency (CNA) was a news service owned by Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) [1] that provides news related to the Catholic Church to a global Anglophone audience. It was founded in 2004 in Denver, Colorado, United States as the English section of the worldwide ACI Group, which publishes the Spanish-language news service ACI Prensa  [ es ]. It was acquired by EWTN together with ACI Prensa in 2014. [2] [3] It is now based in Washington, D.C.

In 2011, CNA said its editors would provide free news, features, commentary, and photojournalism to editors of newspapers. [4]

On January 15, 2026, EWTN announced that it would merge the Catholic News Agency and ACI Prensa and folded these into the EWTN News division. [5]
