Black Tie. Red Carpet. An Extraordinary Night

Some evenings stay with you for what is said. Others, for what is felt.

On May 15th, Fides Entrepreneurship gathers a select group of +175 guests in New York City for an evening rooted in faith, leadership, and shared purpose.

A black tie aperitif reception, where conversations move beyond introductions, and into meaning.

Guests will arrive on the red carpet and step into a room shaped not only by ambition, but by a deeper conviction: that faith, lived fully, has the power to form extraordinary leaders.

This year’s honorees: Eduardo Verástegui, Father Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez (“Fray Tormenta”), and Jordi Vilasuso, embody that conviction in radically different, yet equally powerful ways.

The evening opens with Sam Goodwin, whose story of endurance and faith under pressure offers a perspective that resonates far beyond the moment.

Set in a venue known for hosting defining cultural and brand moments, the night brings together founders, creatives, and leaders seeking something more than success alone.

Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve the spirit of the gathering.

Black tie required.

Tridentine Brewing began the way the best things do, as a family hobby, passed down through generations. Founded by Jeff Alcorn and his sons Trevor and Cameron, the brewery takes its name from the Traditional Latin Mass, and its motto says everything: Braciare ad majorem Dei gloriam Brewing beer for the grater glory of God. What started in a kitchen, rooted in a grandfather’s wartime faith and love of country, has grown into a commercial craft brewery carrying that same spirit in every can. Faith, family, and country brewed into every batch. You can find out more about their story here.

Catholic Founders is run by my good friend Silas Mähner, and he's on a mission to help Catholics start and grow their businesses so that, through entrepreneurship, we can convert the country in the next 20 years. What sets Catholic founders apart isn't just faith as a backdrop it's the virtues. Prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance aren't just spiritual ideals; they're practical tools that shape how we build companies, lead teams, and serve customers.

Catholic entrepreneurship is about building businesses that are not only profitable, but genuinely good rooted in a moral framework that the secular world increasingly lacks. They have a weekly podcast and newsletter that explore these topics with top entrepreneurs like Alessandro Di Santo and distill those into lessons for you and me to take away. I highly encourage you to follow their podcast and newsletter and check out their peer group called the Catholic Founders Guild. You can more information here about his mission.

Founded in 1888, The Catholic Herald transitioned from a weekly newspaper to a monthly magazine in 2014, bringing in-depth Catholic journalism to a modern audience.
