Dear TLI Family,
Yesterday marked a historic milestone in South America with the inauguration of Peru's new president, Keiko Fujimori. As the first woman ever elected to lead the country by popular vote, she steps into office during a critical moment, promising to bring a historically fractured and deeply polarized nation together under God for the authentic wellbeing, dignity, and flourishing of all its people.
This momentous occasion reminds us that even in societies facing severe political instability and public anxiety, the human heart continually yearns for stability, reconciliation, and a higher moral purpose in public life.
This unfolding story speaks directly to the core of our mission at Tepeyac Leadership. Across the globe, we witness a profound and aching hunger for principled, values-driven leadership, leaders who steadfastly refuse to let division define their communities, and who instead choose to anchor public service in moral truth, the common good, and an unwavering commitment to the dignity of every human person.
Whether serving in government offices, corporate boardrooms, educational institutions, or local civic organizations, the world needs Catholic professionals who lead with competence, conscience, and profound compassion, bridging gaps where they are.

To continue building this vital movement of cultural and spiritual renewal, it’s good to look ahead and gather as a community. On Wednesday, August 5 at 10 a.m. Pacific, we will host our THL2026 Open House. This is a wonderful, informal opportunity for all interested attendees, alumni, and prospective pilgrims to learn more about our annual gathering at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Come hear about what we have planned for this extraordinary spiritual journey, ask any questions you might have, and discover firsthand how this transformative experience can deeply impact your own personal leadership path and apostolate.
No registration is required to join the open house, making it as accessible as possible for anyone curious about our mission. You can easily join us on Wednesday, August 5 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5951618466.
Also, in case you missed it, we just published the full agenda for THL2026.
Let us keep our global leaders, our local communities, and one another in our daily prayers as we strive to be instruments of peace and steady anchors of hope in a turbulent world. Thank you for your continued dedication, your prayers, and for being such an essential part of the TLI family.
Sincerely yours in Christ and Our Lady of Guadalupe,
P.S. Join Archbishop José Gómez, Bishop Thomas Olmsted and Bishop Timothy Freyer for The Hour of the Laity 2026 in Mexico City. In the videos bellow you will see what they have to say about THL2026.
