Fides Entrepreneurship: Marcela & Pierre Ferragu

Next Friday, join us for a powerful conversation with Marcela, the inspiring Latina entrepreneur behind Tulips & Sips. More than just a café, Marcela’s space has quickly become a hub for authentic community—especially for women who walk in, take a seat, and ask the same questions:

“How did you do this?”

“How did you came up with this idea?

“How did you end up like being here as a Latin woman? “

Amidst this gratifying experience and the difficulties of her opening a new business she sees how God helps her in her struggles:

“Even though you open a business, and even though you feel like you will have everything on your side, like you have the power to change the world, it's not as easy as it seems, and sometimes it's not that fulfilling.

“So you always need to have the peace in you in order to be a better person and to be happy. Because if we keep seeking happiness in things or other human beings. I don't think we're ever going to reach that level of happiness. With the with the help of God it's part of my my faith keeps me alive and keeps me going when the days are rough.”

Pierre Ferragu

Only 2 weeks away until Thursday, June 5th when Pierre Ferragu Co-Founder & Managing Director of New Street Research and U.S Producer of the Bernadette Musical will speak about his story.

As he told EWTN “When Saint Bernadette was offered a great opportunity in Paris and when she was asked what do you want to do, she said I’d like to serve the poor and I think its a very important charism of Lourdes to serve the poor and the sick so you know creating this opportunity”.

Deeply inspired by Saint Bernadette, Pierre launched a monthly initiative in New York City called the Jesus Walk, where volunteers prepare and deliver food to the sick and poor through St. Francis of Assisi Church.

What makes Pierre’s story truly powerful is how he balances the high-paced world of finance—frequently appearing on CNBC & Bloomberg —with his devotion to mission-driven work, from producing a faith-based musical to serving the poor on the streets of NYC.

This is a talk not to be missed. Join us to learn how one man integrates professional excellence with a life of deep purpose and service.
