Join us for the 2025 Festival of Hope Breakfast
Presented by the First Horizon Foundation, this annual fundraising breakfast celebrates hope and the transformative impact of Catholic Charities’ holistic programs, which provide emergency assistance, emotional support, and employment services to restore dignity and foster stability.
Event details:
- Date: April 29, 2025
- Time: Networking at 7:00 a.m., Breakfast & Program at 7:30 a.m.
- Location: Ascension Hall, Catholic Pastoral Center (2800 McGavock Pike, Nashville, TN 37214)
- Complimentary parking
For those coming from Brentwood, Belle Meade, Bellevue, Green Hills, and surrounding areas:
CPC is easily accessible from these areas in the mornings, and traffic is light during that time. To get here, take I-440 to I-40, just like you would when heading to the airport. But instead of continuing to the airport exit, take Briley Parkway North and exit at McGavock Pike (Exit 12). This route goes against the flow of traffic, so you’ll avoid any congestion. Alternatively, you can take Woodmont Boulevard, which turns into Thompson Lane and then Briley Parkway—this route is a straightforward drive with minimal traffic.
And don’t worry about parking—CPC offers plenty of free parking right at the door!
Register today!
While there is no charge to attend, advance registration is required. During the event, guests will be invited to support Catholic Charities’ mission with a donation. RSVP here.

SERVING THE DIOCESE OF NASHVILLE

The last few years have resulted in extraordinary hardships and uncertainty for many. With our promise of “love, hope, and healing,” our goal is to provide the tools that people need to thrive and be self-reliant; counseling, therapy, and resource navigation, as well as job readiness, mentoring, and skills training. Yes, we provide food, shelter, and emergency assistance every day, but we also offer specialized support for those who need it.
As a leading social services provider, we serve our neighbors regardless of faith tradition, with a staff from many religious backgrounds – not just Catholic. Only five percent of our revenue is provided by the diocese and church donations. Financial support from corporations, foundations, and individuals is critical to meeting the needs of our neighbors. Please support the ongoing work of Catholic Charities by participating in Festival of Hope. Many of our neighbors need your help. By joining us you give them love, hope, and healing.
