Guest Information
A cradle Catholic, Cathy Steves serves as a Pilgrimage Group Leader for Pilgrim Center of Hope (PCH) evangelization ministry. In 1992, she participated in her first pilgrimage with PCH to the Holy Land. However, Cathy has known PCH Co-Founder & Co-Director Mary Jane Fox since the mid-1980’s when they were both travel agents.
Cathy spent 50 years in the sale profession; 22 years as a Sales Director at Harland Clarke. Upon retirement, she embarked on a heartfelt new mission: crafting handmade rosaries for anyone seeking prayer or a deeper connection to their faith. When her husband was put on Hospice, he requested 250 rosaries for his funeral Mass. She completed the last one 3 days before he passed. This ministry reflects her dedication to spreading hope and spiritual comfort, one bead at a time.
Now, Cathy combines her faith, professional expertise, and love for helping others with Pilgrim Center of Hope, ensuring pilgrims' experiences are seamless, meaningful, and enriching.
Cathy actively attends St. Pius X Church, where she serves in various capacities including Lector, Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, SPX Schedulers, SCF Women's Group, Rosary Guild, and the Capital Campaign team.
