Every day, your generosity helps make Christ present throughout our Diocese. This month, seminarian Jimmy Venegas shares a beautiful reminder of the impact of your support: “Seeing the great need and hearing the Lord’s call, I echo in my heart the words of the prophet Isaiah: ‘Here I am… send me!’”

As Jimmy continues his formation for the priesthood, he reminds us that every class, every pastoral experience, and every step toward ordination is made possible because of faithful supporters like you. Through the Progress Annual Ministry Appeal, you are helping form the next generation of priests while sustaining fifteen life-changing ministries that bring hope, healing, and the love of Christ to countless individuals across our Diocese.

As Jimmy so beautifully shares, “Every gift, whether large or small, one-time or recurring, truly makes a difference in carrying forward the mission of Christ here in the Diocese of El Paso.” If you have already made your gift to this year’s Annual Appeal, thank you for your faithful generosity. If you have not yet participated, we prayerfully invite you to discern your gift today. We are Building His Kingdom, Together.

If you have any questions about the Progress Annual Ministry Appeal, would like to learn more about the ministries your gift supports, or simply need someone to pray with or pray for you, I would be honored to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me directly at tedwards-milam@catholicfoundationelpaso.org or (915) 872-8412. It is always a privilege to serve you, and please know that our Catholic Foundation team will be keeping you and your loved ones in our prayers.

Thank you for being a vital part of Christ’s mission in the Diocese of El Paso.
