Description
The CIC, Napa Institute, and Catholic Leadership Institute invite you to register for our April 3rd event with author Dan Cellucci. He will be joining us to discuss his new book, Cleanup on Aisle Mine: Learning about Life, Leadership, and the Lord in the Day-to-Day.
So, what do a 5-year-old kleptomaniac, an infuriating exchange with a rental car agent, and regular trips to Rome have in common? They are among the hilarious and heartwarming life lessons in this daily reflection book.
In Cleanup on Aisle Mine, Dan curates nearly eight years of his experience as a millennial husband, father, and CEO of a national Catholic nonprofit as he weaves together wisdom from modern-day popes and his own faith journey in this collection of accessible tales.
His self-deprecating humor and radical vulnerability allow the reader to hold up a mirror as they read each day’s brief vignette and walk away with a much deeper insight on life, leadership, and the undeniable presence of God in the simplest of moments. This book will quickly become a favorite part of your daily routine as Dan offers his own examination of conscience as an invitation for you to consider what more God might be calling you to tomorrow.
Cleanup on Aisle Mine will be available for purchase at the CIC bookstore.
Our Schedule on April 3rd:
- 5:00 pm EDT: Doors open for registrant check-in

What people are saying
“Dan Cellucci, employing his characteristic wit and charm, and reaching deep into examples from his life as a father, a husband, a CEO, and an advisor to bishops, priests, and Catholic leaders of all kinds, presents us with a refreshingly honest collection of reflections from over the last decade. These reflections will sometimes make you laugh, sometimes make you cry, and always make you think.”
Rev. Paul Soper
Vicar for Clergy in the Archdiocese of Boston
“Always compelling, perfectly imperfect, Dan’s reflections are intelligent, honest, vulnerable, hilariously self-involved, and ultimately so generous in the offering of important insights that are immediately understood because of their simple truth and clarity. If you are like me, when you read you may find yourself nodding in agreement, laughing out loud, cringing in amazement at what Dan will share about himself, and more than I care to admit, even tearing up and making a resolution to be a better spouse, parent, and friend.”
David Savage
Executive Director of the Papal Foundation
“When one is in a leadership role and is “working for God” the greatest lesson and gift is to recognize that it is God Himself who leads – and so many times, leads on a path we didn’t see, on a way we don’t recognize. Fortunately for us, Dan is attentive to God’s presence revealed in the simplest moments of daily life and generous enough to share the wisdom learned. Dan’s capacity to ‘listen differently’ and to share his reflections is gift for all.”
Sr. Elizabeth Worley, SSJ
COO of the Archdiocese of Miami
“Christian life is a daily pursuit of holiness. Dan lays bare this challenge pulling wisdom from the day to day realities of family, work and public life. We look forward to Dan’s stories reminding us that leadership begins by listening for the still small voice of the Holy Spirit and with Dan’s humility and humor, the response is a holy call to action.”
Berni and Rob Neal
Vice Chairman of Legatus International and Chairman, Catholic University of America
“Leadership begins with oneself. Dan is an outstanding leader who opens himself to us with his stories and helps us to reflect on where we are and the changes, we can make to become the people God calls us to be. Each day you read, you will learn something about yourself, think differently about another person, and experience fond memories of your own journey.”
Timothy Flanagan
Founder of Catholic Leadership Institute
