Grand Rapids, MI

    The Acton Institute’s 2021 Annual Dinner will be held on Wednesday, November 17 at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Along with celebrating our work to promote a free and virtuous society, this year’s annual dinner will be extra special.

    We ask you to join us to celebrate Acton’s co-founders as

    Rev. Robert A. Sirico

    moves into his new emeritus role and

    Kris Alan Mauren

    becomes president of Acton.

    Surrounded by friends and supporters of the Institute, the evening will highlight Rev. Sirico’s many accomplishments and his fruitful career.
     
    Additionally, in his last annual dinner as Acton president, Sirico will give a very special address as our keynote speaker for the evening.

    President & Co-Founder

    Rev. Robert A. Sirico is the president and co-founder of the Acton Institute and the pastor at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, both in Grand Rapids, MI.

    A regular writer and commentator on religious, political, economic, and social issues, Rev. Sirico's contributions have been carried by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Washington Times, CNN, ABC, CBS, NPR, and the BBC, among others.

    In his most recent book, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy, Rev. Sirico shows how a free economy is not only the best way to meet society's material needs but also the surest protection of human dignity against government encroachment. Rev. Sirico holds dual American and Italian citizenship.
