“I just love Pilgrim Center of Hope and its evangelistic enthusiasm and contagious joy in serving the Lord and the Church. I can see God working in and through the Center, the staff and its volunteers. You just don‘t know how much hope you’ve given me that there are really good people who love serving the Lord and giving him all the praise and glory. I am blessed every time I encounter all of you and your spirituality. I know working with all of you that my life and living will not be in vain.”

Witness an unfolding story of hope that you won’t hear anywhere else.

Meet two people who stood up for hope: Find inspiration and encouragement from a personal conversation with Deacon Tom & Mary Jane Fox, who in a time of escalated crime & gang activity, left their careers and began reaching out in San Antonio neighborhoods. After seven years in door-to-door home visitation ministry, the Foxes founded a non-profit unlike any other, to address the urgent needs they had discovered.

Especially now with all the changes and challenges in our lives, your work resounds that God remains as God; inviting us to be in relationship with Him. For me this has been a unique time to reflect on my response to God’s love. I’ve got a lot to work on- to let God work on, or to work with God on. Thank you for being present and working with God.

LettyEncouraged amid Challenges

I love your establishment… Every time I stop and open my emails, I’m never disappointed. I’m always encouraged.

Young Adult (30s)Encouraged to Keep Faith

We all live such busy lives and we forget to put Christ first. So to come, get the rest, get the weariness gone and put Jesus first – man! It’s a freedom that just can’t be explained.

Event AttendeeRenewed & Strengthened

Pilgrim Center of Hope is a great place… THANK YOU to you all who work there to keep God’s word well presented to us. All are a blessing.

Parish SecretaryGrateful for Resources

Thank you for the wonderful things you do to alleviate the difficulties that people encounter in their daily lives and at the same, bringing hope, and preaching the Gospel of God!

JenniferInspired through Difficulties

This has shown us what Christ can do in different situations. First we have to give all of our being to Christ for him to work through us so that then, we can turn around and be Jesus’ hands and feet to our community.
