Can an entrepreneur...

Win in the marketplace and become a saint?
Scale a company to millions and be a great parent?
Create hundreds of jobs and never miss daily Mass?

Can your business be a mission?

We think so.

Our members are proving it.

The world needs Saintly Builders.

Business is one of greatest vocations through which people, families, and communities are formed.

Every company shapes lives. Every leader shapes culture.

SENT forms Catholic entrepreneurs to become Saintly Builders—leaders who pursue extraordinary business excellence without compromising their faith, build companies that cultivate human flourishing, and use their work to bear witness to Christ.


“I know what it feels like to chase success and wonder if it costs too much. My path took me from Harvard Business School, banking, and policy to a Carmelite monastery of prayer and study. Along the way, I discovered this truth: Catholic entrepreneurs are called to both excellence and faith.”

- SENT Founder, John Cannon

SENT is for founders who are Serious Builders with Serious Faith.
