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.

Make Yourself Count at Mass!
Make Yourself Count at Mass!

The Diocese of El Paso will conduct the annual Mass Attendance Count on the weekends of October 15-16 and 22-23 in all parishes, including seminaries and monasteries. The Diocese will also ask parishes to include, for the second time, the number of views in their live-streamed Masses. Local televised mass ratings will also be included.

The annual Mass Attendance Count will be coordinated by the Catholic Foundation Stewardship Coordinator, Karina Sandoval who will report to the community how many individuals attended Mass in English, Spanish, Bilingual or other languages, and virtual mass attendance. These reports will assist the Diocese of El Paso to analyze better pastoral strategies for the future. Reports will be available on the Catholic Foundation website, catholicfoundationelpaso.org, and on social media in November.

Make yourself count and be present! The Diocesan Mass schedule is available online at elpasodiocese.org or you can contact the Catholic Foundation for more information at 915-872-8412.

I rejoiced when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord, and now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem.” Psalm 122
