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.

Progress Ministry Spotlight: Marriage and Family Life
Progress Ministry Spotlight: Marriage and Family Life
April 14, 2020

Nowadays, due to many closures, families have the opportunity to engage in a myriad of ways. If you are out of ideas on how to better relate with your spouse, children, and loved ones or whatever your family situation may be, remember there is grace to find in your day-to-day relationships. We hope you continue to create beautiful family moments and we pray your bonds will be strengthened. Here are some spiritual, practical and relational ways to keep walking together.

  • Pray the rosary together. Ask in every Hail Mary for your loved ones to be safe.
  • Meditate on the daily scriptures together. Due to COVID-19 you can now access free daily readings and Lectio Divina.
  • Four simple steps to pray with your spouse. Find time to pray together.
  • Write a mission statement for your family and make it visible in your house.
  • Do something creative as a family: Cook together, do a puzzle, get creative with craft supplies, bake a pizza, or set up Zoom or other virtual meetings with your loved ones, especially with the ones who are lonely during these times.

“In family life, we need to cultivate the strength of love which can help us fight every evil threatening it. Love does not yield to resentment, scorn for others or the desire to hurt or to gain some advantage.” — Pope Francis
