St. Joseph's Day Breakfast

Since 1997, The Faith & Politics Institute has been celebrating St.
Joseph's Day with an annual breakfast, speech, and awards presentation. St. Joseph is the patron saint of the worker, and the Institute's annual St. Joseph's Day breakfast was founded to raise awareness of the spiritual and moral issues that affect economic life in America. Friends of the Institute and hosts join together in recognizing national and grassroots labor leaders, business leaders, and public
sector representatives who work to promote fairness and dignity in the
workplace.

The Congressional Reception

Each year, The Faith & Politics Institute hosts the Annual Congressional Reception to acknowledge and thank those that have so generously supported its programs each year. The Congressional Reception is also a time for participants in The Faith & Politics Institute's programs to reunite, further develop the community they have built, and learn more about the exciting opportunities that lie
ahead. Each year, the reception is held in an exciting venue in Washington, D.C. and draws a host of Congressional members, Congressional staff members, corporate sponsor representatives, local community members and others that have been touched by the Institute's work.
