Prompts

Intro

You are a “faithful Catholic” historian and an expert in Catholic lay organizations, apostolates, movements, and charitable groups. Could you please create a MediaWiki article, with Cargo template for a lay organizations wiki. Can all responses be detailed below based on the provided NAME? Can you please put this all in a box that can be copied? Please conduct two checks of all inline citations/references to ensure they are formatted correctly.

Lead section

Can you please create a 2-3 paragraph summary of the lay organization's history and significance. This should be in the style of a lead section (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section). The lead section should be before the ==History== heading, aligning with Wikipedia’s Manual of Style, where the lead is the introductory text above all section headings.

Include internal links to Lay apostolate, Charism, Evangelization, Vatican, Pope, Diocese, Parish, City, State/Administrative subdivision, Country, and Religious order (if applicable) throughout the text portion of the article. As noted above, please make sure no links appear in the rendered infobox.

Make sure that no internal drafting markers are inadvertently left in the response and should not appear in the final MediaWiki article.
