The Vox Christi Institute (a project of the Ex Umbris Institute) exists to support Catholic intellectual and spiritual life in Northern Virginia through faithful lectures, parish events, and educational programming rooted in the Catholic tradition.
Beginning in Fall 2026, we will host a series of public lectures at parishes throughout the Diocese of Arlington featuring scholars, clergy, and Catholic thinkers speaking on Scripture, theology, philosophy, history, culture, and the spiritual life. Our hope is to help foster deeper Catholic formation, stronger parish communities, and renewed confidence in the riches of the Church’s intellectual and spiritual tradition.

Help More Souls Hear the Voice of Christ
“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth.” — St. John Paul II, Fides et Ratio (1998)
The Vox Christi Institute serves the Church by sharing the Catholic intellectual and spiritual tradition — its Scripture, theology, philosophy, history, and spiritual writing — with the laity, clergy, and parish communities who carry it forward. Through public lectures, parish formation programs, and published resources, the Institute forms Catholics whose faith is at once thoughtful and prayerful, rigorous and lived.
