Thank you to each and every one of you for your support in joining us Tuesday night at our first Catholic Founders and Investors Dinner!
Without your support, kindness and generosity we wouldn’t be where we are today!
Your conversations and ventures that you are creating are setting the stage for something much bigger, even then ourselves.
By bringing each and everyone of you together of the same faith from far and ride, 50% of the weight on your walk towards success in entrepreneurship and sanctity is made easier.
By ensuring that you are connected with the right people you know right there and then that you are on the right path. That God is ultimately keeping an eye on you and guiding you in your walk towards sanctity. That those around you are supporting you in that walk and not talking you off that path.
Part of that is also the books we gave each and every one of you (We’re sorry if we missed a couple of you!), are personalized for you based off of the experiences you’ve been through in your own life or that you are going through right now as you start your new venture!
Ultimately by deepening ones faith through being connected with those who believe the same as you as well as with religious literature the impossible life you may think you live becomes possible!
Michael Pakaluk, a professor at The Catholic University of America a month ago said that by praying to God and believing is a risk and is a higher risk then any other. That ultimately we as Catholics put our faith first.
Such shows us that you are a natural risk taker! That we have faith that ultimately leads us to believe in the impossible becoming possible!
Do not think that you aren’t taking enough risks in your as if we had to really look at it from a non-religious standpoint we may be some of the biggest risk takers, as we realize what is truly important!
Taking all of this into mind you have planted the seeds for what we hope will be the next Y Combinator for Catholic Founders. By having founders grow in virtue as they grow in success you are setting the stage for true global change!
We cannot thank you enough as you help create true change! May God bless you in your endeavors, can’t wait to see some of you get funding and keep putting your faith first!

Books from last night, thanks to our Sponsor TAN BOOKS
In You’re Not Busy, Conor Gallagher challenges the modern obsession with busyness, revealing it as a disguised form of sloth and a sign that the world holds more sway over us than God. This short but powerful book invites readers to reclaim their time by aligning their lives with God's will, offering peace, clarity, and the freedom to never be "busy" again.
In You Have Only One Problem, Conor Gallagher reveals that our true struggle isn't our daily hardships, but our failure to fully surrender to Divine Providence. Through piercing insights and saintly wisdom, this short yet powerful book reframes suffering as a sanctifying gift, guiding readers to trust completely in God's will.
In Holiness of Life, Saint Bonaventure offers a rich and challenging reflection on the virtues that lead the soul to union with God. Exploring themes of humility, prayer, poverty, and the remembrance of Christ’s Passion, this spiritual classic guides readers to conform their hearts to Christ and embrace the life of holiness.
Struggling with traits that seem more flawed than holy? In this engaging guide, Rosemary McGuire Berry explores how the temperaments of various saints—like Paul, Teresa of Ávila, and Mary Magdalene—can inspire us to embrace our own personalities as unique paths to holiness through Christ, who embodies the perfection of all temperaments.
Christ reminds us that although life is filled with suffering, His yoke is sweet and His burden light, for He helps us carry our crosses and has already won the ultimate victory. In this first-ever English translation of selected sermons by St. John of Avila, readers will find encouragement, instruction, and inspiration to persevere in redemptive suffering and pursue holiness.
Is the chaos and busyness of modern life unsettling the harmony of your household? Conor Gallagher, CEO of multiple businesses and father of 16, unveils a transformative system in Well-Ordered Family that will restore peace and joy in your household.
