For over 60 years, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Nashville, has been a beacon of love, hope, and healing for Middle Tennessee. We are dedicated to serving our neighbors in need, regardless of their faith tradition, with compassion and care during their most challenging times. Through our programs, we help individuals regain stability and dignity, making a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.

Join us in the Ascension Hall within the Catholic Pastoral Center in Donelson - like driving to the airport (but free at-the-door parking and no baggage!)

Come be part of the Festival of Hope Breakfast, where you'll enjoy great company in an unforgettable setting. Indulge in a delicious breakfast, catered by the Clean Plate Club, while being uplifted by powerful stories of hope and transformation. With Bishop Spalding in attendance, and emceed by Rhori Johnston, this annual event is our primary fundraiser and celebrates the successes of the neighbors we serve.

Come for the food, stay for the inspiration, and leave knowing that your support directly impacts those who need it most. Your presence and generosity will help continue the vital work that Catholic Charities does for our community. Let’s gather to make a difference—together.
