Personal Greetings from Our Staff
From Gloria Chapa-Solano & Letty Sifuentes
Christmas Greetings to You!
This has truly been a Year of Hope! At the front desk, we've both been blessed to welcome so many faces (new and returning!) to Pilgrim Center of Hope (PCH). If you haven't visited in a while, we'd love to see you soon... The campus has changed so much! This year, we rearranged our lobby to welcome and inform guests about all the events happening here. We also added a new place in-person & online to purchase religious items and PCH merchandise to support and spread our mission.
We even created a page on our website for visitors to Plan Your Visit.
On December 8, 2025, we're opening registration for our largest event in many years: Mother of Hope Marian Conference, to draw people from all walks of life to Mary, our Mother. Please help us by inviting your friends and neighbors! If you're interested in volunteering before or during the conference (July 24-25, 2026), call us: 210-521-3377. We look forward to catching up with you!
From Deacon Tom & Mary Jane Fox
The both of us have been well and remain in awe of God's work through the mission of Pilgrim Center of Hope.
Events held here at the Center have more than doubled over the last two years! Thanks to the wonderful work of our staff Groundskeeper, Christopher Bush; individuals, families, and groups including school retreats have all enjoyed these beautiful 6.8 acres consecrated to the Lord. We especially thank you on behalf of visitors we received this year who'd been away from the Church yet felt comfortable approaching God at this unique Center. It is your support which allows us to be here and welcome them.
From Phil Weidner & Greg Vallejo
We're excited to be the newest staff members here to support the future of Pilgrim Center of Hope! Both of us look forward to improving the ways you can give to the mission; Phil as Development Coordinator & Bookkeeper, and Greg 'behind the scenes' as Data & Systems Coordinator. Thank you for all the ways you build up this mission of hope.
From Jason Nunez & Angela Sealana
This year has been filled with blessings from our Media Department's perspective! We were humbled to welcome ----- onto our Journeys of Hope weekly radio broadcast & podcast, as well as many other clergy, religious & lay guests who guided our listeners to hope and discernment. We're so grateful for these guests' generosity of time; they provided a wonderful treasure trove for you that are available now on our website and podcast feeds!
Your generous donations in 2026 helped cover the cost of exciting improvements:
- New audio equipment for our podcasts & video productions like Meet Mary.
- New audio equipment to use for indoor and outdoor events and presentations at Pilgrim Center of Hope.
We look forward to offering these to you in 2027!
