The Vatican announced on February 8, 2023, that Pope Francis named Father Tony Celino, JCL, an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of El Paso.

The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso held its 10th Annual Foundation Scholar’s Prayer Breakfast honoring the 2022-2023 scholarship recipients on February 2, 2022.

The 11th Annual Senior Class Mass was held on Thursday, January 26 at St. Patrick Cathedral. The Mass was hosted by Cathedral High School and the Most Reverend Mark J. Seitz, D.D., Bishop of El Paso, was the main celebrant.

The Catholic Foundation, in an effort to share the true meaning of the Eucharist and what benefits we receive when we attend Mass every Sunday, will start a mini-social media campaign that teaches about the importance of the Eucharist to help increase Mass attendance and parish life.

The Catholic Foundation launched the 2023 Catholic Ministry Appeal at two kick-off events in El Paso and West Texas over the last two weeks with Appeal Leaders, Pastors, and Administrators. Diocesan parishes will conduct announcements the weekend of January 28th and 29th and commitments to the Appeal will start the weekend of February 3rd and 4th.

The new year can inspire many of us to create a long list of resolutions. However, there’s one simple resolution that can not only stand with your Catholic values and center around God’s blessings but also help you pay it forward for future generations.

The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso proudly announces Tony Herrera Jr. as its new Major Gifts Officer.

Christmas is a time for joy, a time for celebration, and a time for family. Sometimes we focus on the people in our lives that help us throughout the year like our neighbors, our boss, co-workers, mail carriers, our children’s teachers, coaches, and our parish priests. However, what about our retired parish priests?

Tis the season for giving and it’s not too late to make a year-end gift to your favorite parish, charity, ministry, or Catholic school.

This year, the Mass Attendance Count was conducted on the weekends of October 15-16 and October 22-23 in all parishes, monasteries, seminaries, and one campus ministry, in El Paso and West Texas rural areas.
