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.

With praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God, the Diocese of El Paso joyfully announces the priestly ordination of three transitional deacons.

Most Rev. Mark J. Seitz, D.D. will ordain Loyd Divinagracia, Ángel Tarango, and Ángel Aguilar to the priesthood on Wednesday, June 7 at 6:30 pm at St. Patrick Cathedral.

The Rite of Ordination and the Ordination Mass is a time of great joy and celebration on the part of the newly ordained priest, his family and friends, and all of those who have supported and encouraged him along the journey of his vocation. Please join us for the celebration.

We ask for continued prayers for Loyd, Ángel Tarango, and Ángel Aguilar and for all our men in formation. May God’s blessings be upon them as they are called to joyfully serve Christ and the Church.
