We are thrilled to announce plans for our 9th Annual Friends of San Pedro Gala on Saturday, April 25, as we honor the Most Reverend John Noonan and his 16-year legacy serving as Bishop of the Diocese of Orlando.

“In our reception of Jesus the Eucharist, we are called to be who we receive.” - Bishop Noonan, July 7, 2025

Since his installation on December 16, 2010, Bishop Noonan has transformed the Orlando Diocese with his humble leadership, fostering a vibrant Eucharist-focused community. As bishop, he has served on numerous national committees and task forces, working to bring the Gospel's voice to improve the lives of those in need. We are deeply grateful to Bishop Noonan for his constant encouragement and involvement over the years here at San Pedro.

Our daily goal is to welcome all with a spirit of hospitality as we are called to be the Light of Christ and offer programs that study the Word of God, teach our rich faith, harmonize ministries, and focus on the care of those in need, forming leaders in Christ as guided by Bishop Noonan’s vision for our diocese.

The many programs and services, including daily and Sunday Masses, that we provide are made possible with your generous support. We continue to build on our mission to nourish the spiritual life of persons seeking to deepen their relationship with God through prayer, reflection, education, and the pursuit of Gospel values.

Plans for 2026 include developing new programs while continuing to expand existing monthly and annual offerings; these dreams can only be accomplished with your charitable support as we continue to make a difference in the lives of many in our faith community.

I am personally asking you to prayerfully consider becoming a sponsor for our 2026 Gala as we come together to honor our treasured Bishop Noonan and support San Pedro Center, the number one retreat destination in Central Florida!

Feel free to contact me or my co-chair, Diana McGinty, with any questions. All of us here at San Pedro Center appreciate your prayers and financial support.

With Many Blessings,

 

Randall Pinner,
Executive Director
