About Pilgrim House Apostolates
Our Story
The inspiration for Pilgrim House Apostolates developed from Trey and Lily Wilson’s desire to live out the gift of hospitality, support our priests in their mission of evangelization, and increase material support for the local Church.
The name "Pilgrim House" was inspired by the call of Pope Francis to the faithful to be Pilgrims of Hope during the Holy Year 2025.
