In answering the call for all Catholics to participate fully in the Year of Faith, the CIC invites you to join us for a lecture series discussing a number of Church documents written during the Second Vatican Council. During this lecture, Fr. Scalia will discuss the Vatican II documents Presbyterorum Ordinis and Optatam Totius.

Fr. Scalia graduated from the College of the Holy Cross. After attending the North American College in Rome, he was ordained a priest in 1996. Fr. Scalia has served in four parishes, and now acts as the delegate for clergy in the Diocese of Arlington. Additionally, he is the Chairman of the Board of Courage International.

On Thursday, June 6 Over 150 people packed into the CIC for an exceptional event with Mother Dolores Hart. Hart stunned Hollywood in 1963, when after ten highly successful feature films, she chose to enter a contemplative monastery. Fifty years later, the CIC was honored to welcome Mother Dolores to give a fascinating account of her life. She explained, “You can’t find happiness putting another fancy dress on. Happiness comes when you find someone that you really love, that you can really give your life to.” Watch the ABC 7 News interview with Mother Dolores Hart at the CIC here
