Gregory F. Augustine Pierce, author of Spirituality at Work and president of ACTA Publications, will speak at the fourth annual Business Breakfast Forum open to the community this Friday.

Pierce's talk is titled "Making YOUR Workplace More Like the Kingdom of God." Organizers of the event say Pierce will share "how we can make our workplaces more like the kingdom of God, without wearing our religion on our sleeves or offending or irritating others, whether we love our jobs, hate them, or don’t get paid for the work we do."

The Business Breakfast Forum, a free community event hosted by St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church and open to people of all faith traditions, is aimed at helping people balance their life, faith and career.  About 200 people are expected to attend.

The event will be held in the St. Francis of Assisi Church Parish Activities Center at 2250 E. Stadium Blvd. on Friday, Feb. 25 from 7-8:30 a.m.
