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.

National Make-a-Will Month
National Make-a-Will Month

The power of our community rests in our shared faith. It’s been so great to attend Mass together this summer and be part of a Catholic community across West Texas that continues the mission of Jesus to transform the world.

As August comes to a close, we want to remind you of our free will-writing tool, and how you can use it to be a good steward of the blessings God has given you.

We are called to share the many gifts and talents we have received from God, and estate planning is one way to pass these values, and the Catholic faith, onto the next generation. There’s no better moment than National Make-a-Will Month to get started, and this online resource makes it easy and cost-free to write your will.

Creating an estate plan can also support your local parish, school, and other ministries for years to come. Consider this Catholic legacy so we can strengthen the faith community we have built in El Paso and West Texas.

If you are interested in legacy and planned giving, please contact Major Gifts Officer Sofía Larkin at (915) 872-8412 or slarkin@catholicfoundationelpaso.org.
