About Us
Jesus-Centered Institute, LLC and Dialog International Press, LLC are founded by Biblical scholar, genetic historian, & writer, Romuald B. Simeone together with psychologist/author, Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco, Ph.D. They are standing below with psychologist mentor, Tomas A. Clavel.
Our motto is “All and Only Jesus!” ….”PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT!” AS POPE PAUL VI STATED: “JESUS, THE ONLY WAY!” We are ecumenical and base ourselves on the basic Gospel model and message.
Our goal is the saving of souls and the full cooperation with the Kingdom of God through evangelization, discipleship, witnessing and the promotion of Christian marriage and family life.
This is accomplished through “SSS”, the three s’s of:
- Saving Lives (we are prolife)
- Saving Souls (we witness)
- Saving Marriages (we teach marriage rebuilding and the understanding and application of what true matrimony and psychospiritual skills entail. This also involves clarity in the sacramental essence of the connection which leads into lived practices and attitudes.)
We produce books, lectures, and presentations through a variety of media and in person. In addition we evangelize directly, witnessing Jesus one-on-one with people we encounter. We are particularly specialized in extended Workshops for Jesus-Centered formation in matrimony and “Connect-Talk® / Positive Christian Dialog (PCD)” within the entire spectrum of marriage, from individual “inner dialog” to specific virtue-based applications relating to dating and the formation of family and the domestic church.
