About
The Civitas Forum
We equip parishes to shape the culture with the Church's social teaching. Annual parish licenses provide curriculum and Formation Academy seats so prepared facilitators can lead study locally. Diocesan partnerships extend that work across parishes.
Faithful, serious and non-partisan, the program draws on Scripture, the Catechism and the Church's social teaching—not party platforms.
