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.

Back by popular demand, Father Mariano Lopez and Father Ed Carpenter, and and a panel of experts, will co-present at the “We Need to Talk: Estate & End of Life Planning Seminar” on two separate nights in November.

The seminar will be offered on Thursday, November 10 at San Antonio de Padua Parish and on Wednesday, November 16 at St. Luke Parish.

Pastors and experts in their field will talk about end-of-life decisions, funerals, and estate planning for Catholics. There will be a Question and Answer session, and participants will take home free resources.

Even if you have a will or trust, you will learn something new.

Doors open at 5 pm for registration and refreshments. The seminar runs from 6:00-8:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
