Thank you for joining us at the Tepeyac Leadership Gala this past Saturday evening—it was truly a joy to gather with so many of you who share our deep commitment to forming the next generation of lay Catholic leaders.
The evening was nothing short of inspiring. From David Bereit’s powerful keynote and the presence of Bishop Emeritus Thomas Olmsted to the stirring performance by the Choristers of St. Florian, every moment filled us with renewed hope and conviction in the mission we share. Your presence and generous support are what make this work possible. Together, we are transforming lives, strengthening society, and building up the Church—one committed, values-driven leader at a time.
We’ve posted a few highlights from the evening on our LinkedIn page, and I encourage you to take a look and relive some of those beautiful moments.
As we look ahead, I’m excited to share that I will be in Mexico this May, bringing the mission of Tepeyac Leadership across borders. I’ll first address a gathering of Catholic business leaders in Mexico City, reflecting on the urgent need for faithful, ethical leadership in today's professional world. From there, I’ll travel to Puebla to speak with students and faculty at UPAEP about the growing role of lay Catholics in shaping a better, more virtuous society.
We are not alone in this effort. Voices like Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, are calling Americans to speak more openly about their faith, especially in moments of cultural reflection like Holy Week. In his words: “We actually want to live out our faith in the public square.” This vision aligns deeply with ours. It is through individuals—faithful, principled, and courageous—that cultural renewal will take root.
We also saw a sign of clarity and hope abroad, as the U.K. Supreme Court recently affirmed the biological definition of sex in its interpretation of the Equality Act 2010. In a society often clouded by confusion, the court’s decision to uphold biological truth—while respecting the dignity of all—reminds us that reason and faith still have a place in public discourse.
These are hopeful signs, dear friends. They affirm that what we are doing together at Tepeyac Leadership is not only relevant—it is essential.
With deep gratitude for your continued support and prayers, I wish you a blessed Easter Triduum and a happy Easter!
P.S. If you were not able to attend the Tepeyac Leadership Gala, you can still support our apostolate by making a gift now. No amount is too small/large. THANK YOU!
