Description
We invite you to join us on May 4 at 6:00 PM EDT as Fr. Carter Griffin gives a talk on his book, Reclaimed: Win the War of Freedom, Self-Mastery, and Holy Purity.
Before his presentation, Fr. Griffin will celebrate Mass in the CIC chapel at 5:15 PM EDT.
About the Book:
You were made for greatness—but the culture around you is trying to convince you otherwise. The permissive sexual wisdom of our time has failed. In a world hijacked by half-truths about freedom, love, and masculinity, young men are caught in a battle for their hearts. The good news: You don’t have to settle for addiction, shame, or mediocrity. You were made for more.
This is your field manual for the fight ahead—a clear, practical, roadmap to authentic masculinity and self-mastery. Drawing on timeless wisdom and real-world pastoral experience, Fr. Carter Griffin offers tried-and-true tactics to understand the battlefield, break free from cycles of shame and addiction, lead a more flourishing life, and rediscover the joy of loving as God intended.
RSVP to join us in-person or virtually through the livestream.
