The 2025 Grand Prioral Council of the GP America will take place in the beautiful and historic city of San Antonio, Texas, October 30 – November 2, 2025.
San Antonio was founded in 1722 as a Spanish mission and military outpost and is the oldest municipality in Texas. The city evokes the casual charm of both its Texas and Mexican heritage which is felt as you walk or dine on the riverwalk or city streets. Drop by the historic Menger Hotel and have a drink at the bar where Teddy Roosevelt recruited his “Rough Riders” and then see the Alamo. There’s something for everyone – a river boat cruise, lunch or drinks on the river walk or possibly exploring the missions of San Antonio which are UNESCO world heritage sites.
Friday’s Vigil service at St Mary’s Catholic Church precedes our dinner at the historic and celebrated Club Giraud which was built in 1851 as the Ursuline Academy. Our white tie gala after the investiture service will be held in the Briscoe Western Art Museum, located next to the Hotel Contessa.
