"Voces Verbi USA" is a young adult apostolate of the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word which seeks to lead Catholic young adults to become echoing voices of the Word (Jesus Christ) through their love of the truth, their piety, and their charity.

Incarnate Word seeks to help mold future generations of Catholic saints through its young adult apostolate known as "Voces Verbi" (Voices of the Word). Jn. 14:6)
