The National Civic Council has a time-honoured tradition of valuing quality formation of our future leaders and influencers and so launched the Thomas More Centre, an organisation of young Catholics and anyone of good will, that plans programs and activities with opportunities to:

deepen their knowledge and strengthen their practice of the Christian faith;
study social problems and consider just solutions from within the Catholic intellectual tradition, whilst being informed by Church teaching;
assemble and train young leaders to challenge the culture.

An important councillor to King Henry VIII and Lord Chancellor from 1529 to 1532, he opposed the king’s self-appointment as Supreme Head of the Church in England and was consequently martyred in 1535.[dt_fancy_image image_id=”43015″ width=”350″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Legacy”][/ultimate_heading]
