Every great act of service begins with a heart willing to learn, grow, and say “yes” to God.

Through the Tepeyac Institute, men and women across our Diocese are discovering more than theology—they are discovering their purpose. They are being formed to become stronger disciples, compassionate leaders, and faithful servants who carry Christ’s light back into their homes, parishes, and communities.

Many who enter Tepeyac come with a simple desire to know God more deeply. What they often find is life-changing: a renewed love for the Church, a deeper confidence in their faith, and the courage to serve where God is calling them.

This is the beauty of formation. It does not end in the classroom. It reaches the person in the pew, the family seeking hope, the child preparing for the sacraments, the parish in need of leadership, and the community longing for Christ’s presence.

Through your beautiful gift to the Progress Annual Ministry Appeal, you help make this sacred journey possible. You help open doors for those who are ready to grow, ready to serve, and ready to answer God’s call.

Together, we are not only supporting our ministries—we are helping form the future of our Church, one heart at a time.
