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.

Stewardship

Stewardship

As faithful Catholics we are called to share the many gifts and talents we have received from God. Promoting the principles of Pray, Serve, Give, the Catholic Foundation assists parishes and schools with education, training, and materials to foster Catholic Stewardship. In seeking to live our lives as disciples of Christ, we look to share what we have with others, uphold the dignity of all people, and act with compassion and gratitude.
