Catholic Information Center

Mission Our Mission, DC downtown Washington, CIC's chapel and bookstore bring the sacraments and spiritual resources to those working in the Nation's Capital. The St. Josemar a Escriv Chapel is a quiet refuge for prayer where Holy Mass, confession, and Eucharistic adoration are offered daily. The chapel and bookstore, along with our ongoing series of lectures and discussion groups, work to provide the tools necessary for Catholics to share and increase their faith. The Catholic Information Center's prominent location allows it to supplement and support the work of local parishes. We strive to promote the "new evangelization" called for by Pope John Paul II through our principal mission: to make the Catholic Church present and alive in the hearts of the men and women who work in the international, financial, and business center of the Nation's Capital. The mission of the Catholic Information Center has four dimensions: Good Reading Material, Sacraments, Education & Formation, and Outreach. Through its large, well-stocked bookstore, CIC provides Catholic books and religious articles to deepen the knowledge and piety of Catholics. Over 2, 500 titles and many religious items are available.
