Sister, Soldier, Surgeon

The CIC and the Napa Institute invite you to register for our next collaboration on Wednesday, January 22nd, the book launch of Sister, Soldier, Surgeon: The Life and Courage of Sister Deirdre Byrne, M.D. by Leisa Marie Carzon, PhD.

Dr. Carzon’s tells the tale of a modern-day Joan of Arc. Whether in scrubs, camouflage, or a religious habit, Sr. Dede Byrne, in her threefold calling as a professed religious sister, renowned surgeon, and U.S. Army colonel, inspire us to both virtue and action.

If the apostles had remained hidden in the Upper Room, we would never have a Church today. Similarly, Sister’s inspirational life serves as a call to emerge from the safety of the Upper Room and enter the public square to courageously infuse culture with an unapologetic defense of Christ’s beauty, truth, and goodness.

Whether saving lives on battlefields or outside the doors of abortion clinics, this exciting narrative offers a rare glimpse into the life of a contemporary heroine who dedicates herself to care of the poor, love of God and country, and an unwavering defense of the unborn. Don’t miss this incredible program.
