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.

Catholic Foundation Welcomes the Rubio Pinaroc Fund for the Filipino-American Endowment Fund

The Catholic Foundation is honored to welcome the Rubio Pinaroc Fund for the Filipino-American Endowment Fund.

The Named Fund was established by Edgardo and Teresa R. Pinaroc, MD, PA to honor their heritage and to leave a family legacy.

This is the third Named Fund established for the Filipino-American Endowment Fund in 2022.

The Filipino-American Endowment Fund was established in 2007 as a legacy to the Filipino heritage in the Diocese of El Paso. Annual contributions support vocations and priests in their retirement. Proceeds from the annual Simbang Gabi, a Filipino Christmas tradition, benefit the Filipino-American Endowment Fund.

The Catholic Legacy Fund is the Catholic Foundation’s endowment program. Your permanently endowed fund is forever. When you leave a charitable gift in your will to permanently endow a fund, you are guaranteed that your fund will exist in perpetuity, your fund will make gifts annually, your fund will, on average, grow every year. And, we’ll never spend a penny of the principal.

You can contribute to the Filipino-American Endowment Fund in any amount or create a Named Fund with a gift of $10,000 or more. There is no minimum requirement to contribute to an existing endowed fund. Gifts of any size are welcome, and are vital to the Filipino community’s mission.
