SENT's Commitment to Members

SENT seeks to cultivate a community of Catholic Entrepreneurs who:

• Live rightly ordered lives

• Aim to build a business that grows beyond themselves

• See their business as mission

Community Norms

Faith & Integrity

• Commitment to Christ: We strive to follow Christ in our life and work, becoming co-creators with the Holy Spirit as a Catholic entrepreneur.

• Docility to the Magisterium: We commit to align our lives and business practices with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, faithfully adhering to its teachings as the true guide for moral excellence and spiritual flourishing. 

Privacy & Confidentiality

• Absolute Discretion: Each member is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of others. What is said in events, gatherings, within the community platform(s), etc. is held in strict confidence.

• Chatham House Rule: The Chatham House Rule applies in which participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, should be revealed.

Presence & Character

• Vulnerability: We strive to check our egos at the door. We will allow ourselves to be vulnerable and trusting. Through reliance on others, we will open doors to greater growth.

• Be Present & Respectful: When attending events, gatherings, etc. members will make every effort to be present and respectful to the speaker and other members.

• Be Patient: All good things take time and investment. We will endeavor to give space and time for the community—and ourselves—to blossom more fully.

Mutual Charity

• Give Generously: Authentic charity involves a sincere gift of self. We will be intentional and proactive about giving of ourselves to others in community through our time, our willingness to offer honest feedback, willingness to share our networks, generosity of prayer, and openness to assist others in community even outside of the events, gatherings, etc.

• Receive Generously: Authentic charity also entails a humility to receive from others, whether that is a material gift or constructive feedback. As members of the SENT community, we will be open to receive help, support, guidance, suggestions, ideas, prayer, and more in a spirit of humility.

Respectful Communication and Commercial Boundaries

Pitching & Solicitation Restrictions

Respectful and purposeful communication is crucial to maintain the integrity and values of our community.

• Members are explicitly prohibited from any and all solicitations during community events, gatherings, etc. if not requested by another member.

• Members agree not to use the community platform(s) or direct messages for spamming or soliciting others without their consent.
