SUMMARY:"Justice" with Fr. Gregory Pine\, OP
DESCRIPTION:The CIC\, Godsplaining\, and the Thomistic Institute invite you to join Fr. Gregory Pine\, OP\, for a presentation on his latest book\, Justice: Judge Rightly\, Give Freely. Fr. Pine’s talk takes place on Monday\, November 9\, 2026 at the Catholic Information Center at 6:00 PM EST. \nRegister to attend either in-person or virtually through a YouTube livestream. Justice is available for sale at the CIC’s bookstore. \n11/9 Schedule:\n\n5:45 pm: Doors open for registrant check-in\n6:00 pm: “Justice” presentation by Fr. Pine (this portion of the evening will be offered both in-person and virtually via a livestream)\n7:00 pm: Booksigning with Fr. Pine and a light happy hour social\n8:00 pm: Evening Concludes\n\nAbout Fr. Pine’s Book:\nUpon hearing justice\, you might imagine a cold legal standard or perhaps a contentious issue in contemporary debates on civil liberties. But\, truth be told\, justice is less about what others owe us and more about becoming a genuinely free person. Authentic justice is a life-giving cardinal virtue that shapes all our relationships—with God and with others—one that empowers us to become the kind of people who can freely give what is right. \nIn this rich and practical exploration\, Fr. Gregory Pine shows how justice—rightly understood—anchors our relationships\, orders our interactions\, and empowers us to live with purpose. \nIn this book\, you will discover: \n\nHow to cultivate just habits that root you in authentic freedom.\nWhy seeing life as gift changes everything\, including how you respond to injustice.\nThe power of law—eternal\, natural\, divine\, and human—to guide you toward a good and joyful life.\nWhat we owe to our communities\, and why seeking the common good liberates the individual.\nWhy love and mercy go beyond justice\, fulfilling it rather than replacing it.\nGrounded in Sacred Scripture\, the wisdom of the Church\, and the realities of lived human experience\, Justice offers a clear path to judging rightly\, giving freely\, and flourishing in the life God desires for you.\n\nThe CIC thanks the Thomistic Institute and Godsplaining for co-sponsoring this event.

SUMMARY:No Greater Love: The Heroic Story of Tom Vander Woude
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, Pope Francis approved a new path to sainthood: the offering of one’s life in an act of heroic charity.​ And you’re invited to join the CIC on Wednesday\, November 18 at 6:30 PM as Chris Vander Woude tells the story of his Arlington Diocese father’s heroic death and his Cause for Canonization. \nTom gave his life to save his youngest son\, Joseph\, who has Down Syndrome. Joseph had fallen into a septic tank.
