The Leonine Forum was co-founded by Fr. Arne Panula and Mitch Boersma in 2013 as a program of the Catholic Information Center. The program goal was to educate men and women early in their careers in the core tenets of the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church. In 2017 the Leonine Forum became its own 501(c)3 in order to expand to cities across the country. The Leonine Forum and the CIC still have a close relationship and the Washington, DC course is hosted at the CIC.
Most events are hosted at the CIC. If an event is hosted off-site, the location will be listed underneath the date and time of the event.

Bookstore
Yes, We have sold our books at St. Jerome Academy’s book fair for 2 years, and have that operation streamlined to carry over easily toward any other K-8 institution.
Regarding how an author might submit their work for our consideration to carry, process entails a submission copy to be reviewed within 2 weeks by our internal review committee, to ensure material is aligned with the Magisterium. Should it seem acceptable and desirable for us to carry, we then reach out to author or publisher to secure initial copies.
Yes, we gladly are of service to customers who wish to order books through us that we may not have on hand. The content of the book must not be in opposition to the Magisterium and readily available through our distribution channels to secure though.
