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.”

​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.

​The greatest example of that is his yearly October procession with the Blessed Sacrament from Saint Patricks Cathedral through Midtown Manhattan which is attended by 5,000 faithful each year.

​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
