Bishop Mark Seitz opened up his home on May 27 for a fun evening of fellowship. The “Fiesta at Bishop’s” was held as a thank you for continued support during the difficult months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Clergy Corner, tailored for ordained ministers in the Diocese of El Paso, will help welcome parishioners back to church life, and provide ongoing support to our bishop, priests, and deacons.

José William Arévelo Narváez, Astry Déraly, César García-Ortega, Edroud Jean y Sergio Legarreta Carrasco se acercaron un paso más a su ordenación sacerdotal del 2022 al ser ordenados diáconos transitorios

José William Arévelo Narváez, Astry Déraly, César García-Ortega, Edroud Jean, and Sergio Legarreta Carrasco, moved one step closer to their 2022 priestly ordination when they were ordained transitional deacons.

El Paso street signs tell great stories. Hawkins was named for the Hawkins Family, owners of Hawkins Dairy, Morehead after the pioneer banker who established State National Bank in 1881, and Ange, angel in French, the wife of Dr. J.A. McKinney, a prominent citizen of the 1880’s. One of the newest streets in our community is Elsa Maldonado Lane. Her story is inspiring.

There have been many angels through the years who have supported West Texas parishes through their generosity and service, some of whom are no longer with us. As we celebrate twenty years of the Catholic Foundation, we remember and give thanks.

The Catholic Foundation is celebrating 20 years of prayer, service, and giving. It’s time to celebrate! You’ve played a crucial role in the enduring history of the Catholic Foundation and we encourage you to participate in the storytelling and celebrations this year. We invite you to give a “Gift of 20” to your favorite endowed fund. You can leave a lasting legacy with a gift to your parish, school, ministry or charity fund, and create something special that will last forever.

For aspiring priests who have begun the journey towards serving the Church, their long process is only made possible by the prayer and support of the people of the Diocese of El Paso.
