As a separate legal entity from the Diocese of El Paso, the Catholic Foundation is not affected by the recent reorganization of the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Paso. We remain committed to our core purpose of raising funds necessary to sustain the parishes, schools, ministries, and charities that continue the teachings of Jesus Christ in our Diocese. All monies raised through the Catholic Foundation are only used for the parishes, programs, services, and ministries for which they are designated. No gifts are used to satisfy legal fees or settlement costs associated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Paso’s reorganization.

Now more than ever, we are counting on the community to help us fulfill that mission. Our hearts and prayers remain with the victims and their families.

St. Matthew Parish

St. Matthew Parish

St. Matthew Parish

St. Matthew Church started as a mission of St. Patrick Cathedral when religious formation classes began being held in the Upper Valley in the home of a parishioner in the early 1950s. A church was built on Emory Rd. and St. Matthew was elevated to a parish in 1955. This fund helps support the life and programs of the parish.
