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.

End of Life Seminar Series Returns for 2026 at St. Joseph’s Parish

The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso is excited to announce the return of the End of Life Seminar series with a seminar at St. Joseph’s Parish on May 21st! This free event offers a chance to learn from experts, reflect on your future, and start to discover what your end-of-life plan can do for your loved ones and your legacy.

Planning for the later stages of life can be challenging, but with the right guidance, it can also be a meaningful experience for you and your family. In preparing arrangements for these wishes, you can ensure your loved ones are cared for, your values are considered, and your legacy is preserved in ways that are most meaningful to you.

During the seminar, a panel of experts will offer insights from their fields in end-of-life care, law, finance, and Catholic teaching. Attendees will learn about end-of-life decisions, funerals, wills, trusts, estate & financial planning and more from a Catholic perspective. The evening will conclude with a Q&A session, and participants will receive free take-home resources. Even if you already have a will or trust, you may gain valuable new insights.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for registration and refreshments, and the seminar will take place from 6–8 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. To learn more or RSVP, call (915) 872-8412 or click here.
