The Catholic Business League thrives on exceptional leadership, and we are excited to honor John Gromos as the Catholic Business League’s 2025 Catholic Professional of the Year at our breakfast meeting on December 11. We are also delighted to welcome Mosaic, Father Ryan High School’s Show Choir, to our meeting as they perform a selection of Christmas carols.

A parishioner of St. Henry and father of two Father Ryan alumnae, John has been in Nashville for four decades – and has been part of many major projects that have marked the city’s growth. John came to Vanderbilt from Chicago and was a three-year quarterback for the Commodores. Upon graduating from Vanderbilt with a degree in mechanical engineering, he joined Smith Seckman Reid, a local design services company, and rose to the rank of Vice President.

After more than 13 years with SSR, he joined Turner Construction in March 2004, and has remained there ever since, now a Senior Vice President and Director of Turner’s National Sports and Assembly Group. Turner is one of the primary firms involved in the construction of the new Nissan Stadium, and his leadership has been integral as the stadium has risen.

We look forward to celebrating John’s expansive accomplishments — and hearing his insights on the role of his faith in his executive leadership — in addition to hearing Mosaic as we await the Nativity of Our Lord!

The meeting begins at 7:45 a.m. in the Fleming Center at The Cathedral of the Incarnation. Mass is offered at 7:00 a.m.

All are welcome!
