EWTN News, formerly the Catholic News Agency (CNA), is 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. 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]
