What's the Point of This Event?

We are finalizing costs, but it should be around $150-200 total once you are there.
What to Expect
Network: Connect with other Catholic business owners.
Support: Share insights, advice, and encouragement.
Asks & Offers: Bring your current needs and the resources you can provide to the group.
Primary Purpose: To foster fraternity and deepen Catholic entrepreneurs' understanding of the theology of entrepreneurship
Planned Activities: A hike, Mass (potentially on the mountain), formation talks, packing a brown bag lunch, and social time/fellowship (including cigars at Patrick's house).
