SUMMARY:Gen Z\, Gen Alpha\, and the Future of the Conservative Movement with Kimberly Begg
DESCRIPTION:What happens when the conservative movement speaks a language today’s young people no longer recognize? In this talk\, Kimberly Begg\, president of the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women\, examines how the lived experiences of Gen Z and Gen Alpha differ sharply from those of leaders shaped by twentieth-century events—and why yesterday’s arguments no longer persuade. Drawing on her work with young women across the country\, Begg explores how words like conservative\, freedom\, and truth no longer carry shared meaning for a generation formed by COVID lockdowns\, the rise of transgender ideology\, and a deep mistrust of authorities who demand conformity while denying reality. She argues that today’s young people are both dreamers and realists. They are not interested in fighting their parents’ battles. What they want is to chart their own path rooted in purpose and common sense. Our task is to meet that desire with humility—to earn their trust\, pass on hard-earned wisdom\, and help them build meaningful lives capable of sustaining a free society. \n  \n \n  \nKimberly Begg is president of the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women. An attorney with more than 25 years of experience strengthening conservative causes\, her long history with the Luce Center began in the 1990s when she was a student at Rutgers University. In 1997\, she attended the Luce Center’s College Women’s Luncheon in Washington\, DC and hosted a Luce campus lecture the following year. \nShe has been a regular speaker for the Luce Center since the 2000s and has served on the Center’s board of advisors and board of directors. She is the author of Unbreakable: Saints Who Inspired Saints to Moral Courage (TAN Books) and co-author with Mike Ortner of Catholic School Playbook (Word on Fire). She has served as vice president and general counsel of Young America’s Foundation and director of programs and general counsel of the Ortner Family Foundation. She helped found Young America’s Foundation’s Be Not Afraid seminar (originally\, the Standing Up for Faith and Freedom seminar)\, an annual program for students at Catholic schools\, in 2015. \nFrom 2021 to 2024\, she served as founding editor of Catholic School Playbook\, a website documenting the best practices of thriving Catholic schools. She serves on the board of directors of Young America’s Foundation\, the board of overseers of the Dominican House of Studies\, and the DC board of regents of Thomas Aquinas College. \nShe lives in Herndon\, Virginia\, with her husband\, Ian\, and their five children.

SUMMARY:Faith\, Meaning\, and the Catholic Writer with Cy Kellett
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the writing approaches of G.K. Chesterton and Walker Percy\, both of whom answered the confusions of modern life with wit\, insight\, and Christian faith. By considering their response to the modern search for meaning\, we can reflect on what their work still has to say about literature\, belief\, and the calling of the Catholic writer today. \n  \n \n  \nCy Kellett is the host of Catholic Answers Live. He formerly hosted The Bright Side with Cy Kellett on the Immaculate Heart Radio network. Kellett and his wife\, Missy\, have three children. \n  \n  \nImage courtesy of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton

SUMMARY:New Hampshire and Independence Book Launch with William Fahey
DESCRIPTION:Announcing New Hampshire and Independence: Rediscovered Writings from the Sons of the American Revolution\, edited by William Fahey. Six groundbreaking essays by Sons of the American Revolution reveal the significance of New Hampshire’s role in the Revolution. \nNew Hampshire is one of the oldest American colonies and one of the tiniest\, but its small size obscures the mighty importance of its role in the American War of Independence. New Hampshire was one of the first colonies to assert control over its own militia and seize gunpowder from imperial control. It sent more men to Bunker Hill than any other colony\, created a state constitution\, and declared independence months before the rest of America. The Granite State provided heroes and generals in every major military campaign and cast the decisive votes for the ratification of the country’s new constitution. \nWilliam Fahey reveals six penetrating and inspiring essays from the archives and records of the Sons of the American Revolution to bring this rousing tale to life. \n  \n\n \n  \nWilliam Edmund Fahey\, PhD\, is a Fellow and president of Thomas More College of Liberal Arts (Merrimack\, New Hampshire). He has taught history and humanities for more than thirty years. He has pursued advanced studies in ancient and early modern military history. Fahey is an active member of several lineage organizations dedicated to supporting the study of early America\, including the Sons of the American Revolution\, the Society of the Cincinnati\, and the Order of the Descendents of Loyalists and Patriots. In 2024\, he was appointed the historian of the New Hampshire Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. \n \n  \nImage: Nation Makers by Howard Pyle

SUMMARY:Event: Understanding the Papacy of Leo XIII: MacIntyrean Insights for a Leonine Era with Tracey Rowland
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2026 Lecture Series:\nCultural\, Civic\, and Church Life: Prospects for Renewal\nWhat are the ideas shaping contemporary Catholic Social Theory and ecclesial governance practices in the new Leonine era? Join renowned Australian theologian Tracey Rowland\, series editor of the collected works of Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)\, for a discussion of intellectual influences—especially the writings of Catholic philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre (1929-2025)—helpful to understanding recent papal documents like the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas. \n\n\n \nTracey Rowland was born in Ipswich\, Australia in 1963.

She also holds a Diploma in Educational Studies from the University of London. She wrote her Masters’ thesis on the ideas of the intellectuals who led the reform movements in Central Europe in the 1980s and her first doctoral dissertation synthesized the philosophy of culture of Alasdair MacIntyre with the theology of culture of Joseph Ratzinger. Her first lecturing position was in the field of Russian and Central European history and politics at the University of Monash in Melbourne\, Australia. \nShe has published eight books and over one hundred and fifty articles in scientific journals and edited collections. Her work intersects the fields of political philosophy\, theories of culture\, and theological anthropology. Her most recent book is titled Beyond Kant and Nietzsche: the Munich Defence of Christian Humanism (London: Bloomsbury\, 2021). She has also authored numerous publications on the theology of Joseph Ratzinger and is a member of the editorial board of the English-language edition of the Communio journal that was founded by Joseph Ratzinger\, among others\, in 1972. \nFrom 2014–2019 she was a member of the International Theological Commission. In 2009 she was awarded the Archbishop Michael J. Miller Prize for the Promotion of Faith and Culture by the University of St. Thomas in Houston\, Texas. In 2012 she was awarded the Officer’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland\, and in 2020 she was a recipient of the Ratzinger Prize for Theology. She is a member of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre and the Sovereign Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem\, Rhodes and Malta. \nHer current post is a professorship in the School of Philosophy and Theology at the University of Notre Dame (Australia). \n  \nImage: Portrait of Pope Leo XIII\, 1892.
