Our Mission

We do this by being the first point of contact through gentle, compassionate client advocacy, practical support, and walking with our clients every step of the way.
Our History
Centro Tepeyac was founded under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe, who appeared to Mexican peasant Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill near Mexico City in 1531. This apparition coincided with the Aztecs’ end of human sacrifice, making Our Lady a champion for the right to life.
In 1990, a group of local citizens became aware that the abortion industry was targeting the Hispanic population in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC areas. Abortion clinics had begun an intensive campaign to promote their practices through Spanish radio and newspaper ads. These campaigns exploited the needs of vulnerable migrant populations, who had nowhere to turn when faced with an unexpected pregnancy. Someone needed to truly care for this population, as Our Lady did with Juan Diego in 1531.
Centro Tepeyac stepped forward to defend the dignity of life, providing resources for pregnant Hispanic women and standing in solidarity with all mothers. Located in Silver Spring, MD, our center provides aid across the entire DMV region. Our services are fully bilingual so we can offer free pregnancy tests, client advocacy, diapers, and baby supplies to help every woman who comes to us.
