125th Anniversary Celebration

Holy Redeemer Catholic Church invites the community to celebrate its 125th anniversary on November 21, 2026, at the Whitley Center at Oblate School of Theology. This milestone honors a parish whose faith and service have been part of San Antonio’s East Side since 1901.

Holy Redeemer’s story began as the Divine Redeemer Home, established to care for elderly people, children without parents and neighbors in need. Over the decades, the community built a school, welcomed generations of families and continued to serve through times of change. Its history reflects the dedication of parishioners, clergy, religious sisters and community members who kept its mission alive.

The anniversary celebration is an opportunity to remember those who laid the foundation for Holy Redeemer and to recognize those carrying its work forward today. It is also a moment for former parishioners, current members, families and friends to reconnect, share memories and give thanks for the church’s lasting presence in San Antonio.

As Holy Redeemer marks 125 years, the occasion looks beyond the past. The parish continues to be a place of worship, belonging and service, with a story that future generations will help write.

Join Holy Redeemer Catholic Church on November 21 for a celebration of faith, history and community. Together, we will honor the people who made this journey possible and look ahead with gratitude and hope. Whether Holy Redeemer has been part of your life for decades or you are learning its story for the first time, you are welcome to take part in this anniversary.
