Friday Chapel is a treasured tradition at LPI. After a full week of classes and activities, students and staff come together to pause, pray, and be renewed.
With music, worship, and reflection, chapel reminds us that education is more than academics—it is also about faith, values, and spiritual growth.
Each Friday, our community is encouraged and strengthened, reminded that we are not alone, and united in joy as one family in Christ.

LPI Class of 1975 Reunion: A Joyful Blast from the Past!
The Lydia Patterson Institute Class of 1975 Reunion, held on June 22, 2025, was an unforgettable celebration of lifelong friendships and shared memories. Alumni gathered from near and far to reconnect, reminisce, and relive their LPI days. The event was filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and gratitude for the impact LPI has had on so many lives. It truly was a blast!
A heartfelt thank-you to Arturo Valle, who graciously organized the reunion and brought classmates together. His leadership and love for LPI made this special gathering possible.
One of the most meaningful moments came when Rev. Harry Kahl flew in from San Antonio to join the group and lead a beautiful time of reflection and prayer in the LPI Chapel. It was a heartfelt moment of gratitude and spiritual connection.
Afterward, the Class of 1975 continued their celebration with dinner at Carlos & Mickey’s, where they shared stories, laughter, and a wonderful evening together.
We were also blessed to be joined by Ms. Woo, LPI Vice Principal, who has faithfully served the school for over 50 years. She was deeply moved to see so many familiar faces return. In her own words:
“The best part about it all is the alumni. To hear their stories and how much they appreciate LPI means a lot to me.”
And to everyone who attended—thank you for making it such a meaningful day. Events like these help strengthen not only our friendships but also our shared commitment to LPI’s mission.
At LPI, we want every graduate to know: our doors are always open. Whether you graduated recently or decades ago, you are forever part of the LPI family.
If your class is planning a reunion or alumni gathering, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out to Domingo Betancourt, Director of Development, at 915-250-0061.
If you haven’t updated your contact information recently, this is a great time to do so. We’re always looking for ways to stay connected with our alumni and share exciting news from LPI.
We hope this is just the beginning of more reunions and alumni events to come!

La reunión de exalumnos de la Generación de 1975 del Instituto Lydia Patterson, celebrada el 22 de junio de 2025, fue una celebración inolvidable de amistades duraderas y recuerdos compartidos. Exalumnos llegaron desde distintos lugares para reconectarse, recordar y revivir sus días en LPI. Fue un evento lleno de alegría, conversaciones sinceras y gratitud por el impacto de LPI en tantas vidas. ¡De verdad fue un éxito total!
Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a Arturo Valle, quien amablemente organizó la reunión y reunió a sus compañeros de generación. Su liderazgo y amor por LPI hicieron posible este encuentro tan especial.

Más tarde, la Generación de 1975 continuó la celebración con una cena en Carlos & Mickey’s, donde compartieron anécdotas, risas y una velada muy agradable.
También tuvimos la dicha de contar con la presencia de la Sra. Woo, Subdirectora de LPI, quien ha servido fielmente en la escuela por más de 50 años. Se mostró muy emocionada al ver tantas caras conocidas regresar. En sus propias palabras:
“Lo mejor de todo son los exalumnos. Escuchar sus historias y cuánto aprecian a LPI significa mucho para mí.”
Y a todos los que asistieron: gracias por hacer de este día algo verdaderamente significativo. Eventos como estos fortalecen no solo nuestras amistades, sino también nuestro compromiso compartido con la misión de LPI.
