Your financial gift to the Pilgrim Center of
Hope will allow it to continue to reach out
with an authentic spirit of evangelization
and love. I ask you to prayerfully consider
a donation to this ministry so that it can
prepare those who hear God’s call to share the source of their joy
and hope, Jesus Christ, with those who are in such great need of
the hope He gives.
Most Rev. Jose H. Gomez
(Archbishop, Los Angeles, CA)
Please consider a financial gift to help
sustain this ministry that has such a
remarkable record of success in Catholic
evangelization. Your donation will help to
continue the good work begun by Deacon
Tom and Mary Jane Fox. We ask your prayerful support for the
Pilgrim Center of Hope, so that they will, through the Grace of
God, prepare laborers for the Lord’s great harvest.
Most Rev. Patricio F. Flores
(Archbishop Emeritus, San Antonio)
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.
