"Since 1993, Pilgrim Center of Hope has been a response to the Gospel call of evangelizing all people and for a new evangelization. Pilgrim Center of Hope has been an invaluable spiritual resource to the people of the Archdiocese of San Antonio as well as a catalyst for parishes and ministry groups. This ministry shares the message of hope and peace, creates encounters with Christ, and invites all people to live and share in the faith."
"The people who have experienced your ministry connect with the Lord and the Church in new ways, and that is invaluable. May the Lord continue to bless the word and ministry of Pilgrim Center of Hope and thank you for your faithful service to the Church and the people of God."

Auxiliary Bishop, San Antonio
"You were called by God and obeyed; and have given all from the heart. The Church is truly appreciative for all you have accomplished for the Kingdom through your commitment, your faith, and your ministry of pilgrimages, conferences, speakers, and socials. May the Spirit of the Lord continue to guide you, enlighten you, and strengthen you in these endeavors. May God who has called and chosen you always lead you. May the Holy Spirit never depart from you. May Mary our Mother unceasingly intercede for you. As you look back on the past three decades in thanksgiving and gratitude to God, I urge you to look to the future with renewed strength and dedication. Build on the vision. May the grace and peace and goodness of God continued to be multiplied through both of you and the outreach of Pilgrim Center of Hope."

"I congratulate Pilgrim Center of Hope, as it celebrates thirty years of faithful service to the people of God. What a blessing the Center continues to be for the Archdiocese of San Antonio and beyond! Thank you Deacon Tom and Mary Jane Fox, for your steady-handed leadership. You, and your incredibly faithful and gifted team, do so much to announce the Good News of Jesus. In a world where hope seems limited and even lost, you guide people to rediscover the hope found in Jesus Christ. Through encounters on pilgrimages, Spirit-filled events, and media outreach, you are assisting people to reawaken and deepen their faith. May God continue to bless and guide you in all of your endeavors. "

Most Rev. Oscar Cantu
Bishop, Las Cruces
"The Pilgrim Center of Hope emphasizes several important elements regarding our Church and our society. First, it reminds us that we are 'pilgrims,' that particularly as Christians we walk a journey of faith with Christ through our lives. On this journey we need guidance, direction, encouragement. The Pilgrim Center is available especially for this reason, and thus it offers us 'hope.' The Pilgrim Center of Hope offers a specifically Christian and Catholic basis for the evangelization – and re-evangelization – of our families, communities, and individuals."

Most Rev. Paul D. Etienne
Archbishop, Seattle
"Our group was so blessed to have been introduced to the Pilgrim Center of Hope, and to have them serve as our guides. Mary Jane and Tom were instrumental in making it a true pilgrimage, focused very intentionally on seeking the Lord, encountering Him in this land he made holy by his very presence. We literally prayed our way across this land […] If you are wishing to plan a pilgrimage of any sort, but particularly to the Holy Land, I highly recommend to you, Pilgrim Center of Hope, San Antonio, Texas…"

Most Rev. Patricio F. Flores
Archbishop, San Antonio (1979-2004)
"Vatican II has challenged the laity to unite with the clergy in a new evangelization that will bring hope to the world in which we live. I have given my blessing to this Apostolate. Please be generous in your financial support of this well-needed ministry. This type of evangelization is much needed these days."

Most Rev. Joseph A. Galante
"The Pilgrim Center of Hope is one of the wonderful, rich notions of what Vatican II Council said – it reminded us again that we are a Pilgrim people…trusting in God, however God leads us. This place is to help others […] it is a place for Jesus to be known, for Jesus to be loved, for Jesus to be proclaimed because we have to proclaim Him. I in a special way extend God’s blessing and pray God’s presence into this house / Center which is special for this work."
