Phil Weidner
Philip Weidner traveled the world with the U.S. Marine Corps, before deepening his Catholic faith and discovering Christ's call for him to become a Missionary of Hope.
Phil was raised in New York through high school. He joined the United States Marine Corps shortly after graduating, allowing him to travel to multiple countries on five of the seven continents around the globe. He worked as an Avionics Technician during his time in the Marine Corps, and retired in the Summer of 2016.
Upon retirement, he and his family settled in San Antonio, Texas. Phil pursued advanced educational degrees, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Finance and a Master’s in Organizational Management.
Phil has worked within the Archdiocese of San Antonio as a Liturgical Director and Bookkeeper. He is an active parishioner of St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Church, where he serves in various ministries such as Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, Lector, Usher, Religious Education, and has been involved in several ACTS retreats. These experiences have led him to continue his journey, moving forward with Pilgrim Center of Hope on its evangelizing staff as Development Coordinator and Bookkeeper. His wife Monica was called to volunteer with the Pilgrim Center of Hope and has been a Shroud Ambassador since 2025.
Please join us in praying for Phil as he prepares to inspire us to "Cast the Net" at the Conference.
