The mission entrusted to us is both simple and demanding. It calls for leaders who are humble, ethical, and unafraid to serve.
As part of the TLI family, you are living this mission every day. Your witness, prayer, and professional engagement help form a culture in which Christ’s presence is not theoretical but tangible.
Whether the Supreme Court upholds or strikes down Colorado’s law, the deeper question remains: Who will shape the moral imagination of our society?
Grief is real. Loss is sharp. But what we saw on Sunday, what we felt, is that hope is real too. We belong to a story bigger than any one of us. Charlie lived boldly, believing America’s promise, believing youth could be formed, believing that truth was worth defending at any cost.
Together, under the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe and with the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel, we will pray for strength, courage, and renewal in the U.S. and beyond.
Charlie’s passing is also a summons to each of us. His life challenges us to examine our own witness: Are we, too, willing to stand for truth?
In solidarity with Archbishop Hebda’s plea, I invite you to join in heartfelt, continuous prayer for the victims, survivors, their families, first responders, and all who are tending to their wounds, physical, emotional, and spiritual.
As we look to the future, we invite you to take inspiration from St. Bernard. Like him, let us root our leadership in prayer, seek to unite clarity with charity, and dedicate ourselves to forming others for Christ.

Let this week’s news stir us—not into despair, but into action. This is our time to lead. Our time to build. Our time to form the leaders the Church and the world desperately need.
You and I—we are the Juan Diegos of today. Each one of us has been entrusted with the mission to build a dwelling place for God in the world.
We invite you to be a part of this mission. Let us honor this sacred time in the life of the Church not just with celebration—but with action.
Pray for unity, for wisdom, and for the grace to discern the shepherd our Church now needs—one rooted in truth, mercy, and bold leadership.
These are hopeful signs, dear friends. They affirm that what we are doing together at Tepeyac Leadership is not only relevant—it is essential.
At Tepeyac Leadership, we believe it is our duty as lay Catholics to bring Christ into every corner of public life—not just within the walls of the Church.
At TLI, we believe that every Catholic is called to lead—not only in their parishes but primarily in the world. Our mission is to equip them with the formation, skills, and courage to do so effectively.
