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.

The Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for our employees, donors, and friends. In light of the confirmed cases of COVID-19, we wish to inform you of the ways we are supporting our community during this time.

The 2020 Alamo Movie Night for Seminarians has been postponed and will be rescheduled later this Fall. The Stewardship Ministry Series: Orar, Servir y Dar en la Familia de Hoy has also been postponed for a later date. The Progress Catholic Ministry Appeal and our Catholic Legacy Fund efforts will continue and we encourage donors who wish to make a gift to do so online, mail your gift to P.O. Box 17993, El Paso, Texas 79917 or call our office at (915) 872-8412 for other ways to support.

We are taking every precaution and have implemented strategies to protect Foundation employees from COVID-19 while ensuring continuity of operations. At this time, we ask that instead of coming to the office, you please call us for assistance.

During these uncertain and challenging times, the Catholic Foundation remains committed to its mission of assisting generous donors in providing for the needs of our beloved ministries, parishes and schools. Now more than ever, our community needs us and you. Please consider supporting these efforts so that we can ensure our holy work continues.

The Diocese of El Paso has provided updates regarding their response to COVID-19. Please take a moment to learn more here.

Thank you for all you do for the Catholic community in the Diocese of El Paso. Our continued prayers are with our nation’s leaders, our healthcare professionals and those directly and indirectly affected by this virus. We will move through this together, with God’s help. “Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD, your God, is with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9

Yours in Christ,

Linda Caro, Chief Operating Officer
