Fides Entrepreneurship Dinner W/Tim Busch
Welcome to Fides Entrepreneurship! (Sign Up Here to Our Newsletter)
On Thursday, March 26th at 7:00 PM, at our candle-lit seated dinner, we are honored to host Tim Busch, Founder & Chairman of Pacific Hospitality Group, Co-Founder of the NAPA Institute as well as founder of The Clergy Hospitality.
Through Pacific Hospitality Group, he has built and stewarded a portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts across the U.S., while simultaneously founding institutions dedicated to Catholic formation, such as giving $15 million to support Catholic University of America business school, which was subsequently renamed the Tim and Steph Busch School of Business.
Brief words from Tim:
“When Tom Monaghan became a billionaire I said, wait a minute if they can go to Daily Mass, then what you find out is that prayer multiplies your time; it doesn’t take from your time. You’re using your time much more wisely, and the Holy Spirit is guiding you away from people, things, and efforts that are going down dead ends. Through prayer you regain time.”

Tim’s witness reflects a truth many entrepreneurs struggle to articulate: that prayer is not a withdrawal from the world, but a source of clarity, discernment, and multiplication.
Through the NAPA Institute, Tim has helped convene bishops, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, educators, and cultural leaders to recover the intellectual, spiritual, and institutional foundations necessary for Catholic renewal in public life.
At Fides, Tim will share:
How prayer and sacramental life sharpen discernment rather than slow execution
The responsibility of Catholic entrepreneurs once success is achieved
Why hospitality, beauty, and excellence matter in evangelization
How to steward wealth, influence, and time without losing one’s soul

Business leaders discerning responsibility beyond success
Investors and philanthropists interested in faith-aligned institutions
Professionals seeking integration of faith, work, and leadership
