The Upstate Catholic Business Network will host our regular Breakfast and Speaker on TUESDAY, 10 December.
Our December breakfast speaker is Fr. William Frei. Fr. Frei was born in Spartanburg, SC, and grew up in Aiken, SC, where he graduated from Aiken High School. He then attended the University of Dallas (Holy Trinity Seminary) for two years and the Catholic University of America (Theological College Seminary) for three years, where he earned a licentiate in philosophy. After his philosophy studies, Fr. Frei attended the Pontifical Gregorian University (Pontifical North American College and Casa Santa Maria) in Rome, Italy for five years, where he earned a licentiate in theology. He was then sent to Columbia, SC to St. Joseph Catholic Church to serve as parochial vicar and to Cardinal Newman School to serve as chaplain. After two and a half years in Columbia, Fr. Frei was sent to St. Mary's Catholic Church and San Sebastián Mission here in Greenville, where he has been serving as parochial vicar since January 2024.
Please note that we are meeting on a Tuesday, rather than our usual Wednesday, to accommodate Fr. Frei’s schedule. This will be our annual Advent Reflection, which is usually the most popular meeting of the year!
Sully’s Steamers will provide breakfast, so please RVSP so that we can give them an accurate headcount. We will meet at the offices of Parallel Financial, 511 Rhett Street, Suite 2A, Greenville, SC 29601. Parking is available in any of the three lots shown in the map below. There may also be some available spots on Rhett Street or Main Street.
We look forward to seeing you!
