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.

San Judas Catholic Boy Scouts On A Mission
August 10, 2018

Boy Scout Troop 429, based out of San Judas Parish, was dealt a blow when their trailer and all of its contents was stolen from the church as they were preparing to journey out on a summer campout. Troop leader Luis Sanchez said, “We need our trailer and camping gear to continue with the scouting lifestyle to be better citizens for tomorrow.”

The Boy Scouts lost a 6x12 Pace American Trailer, Dewalt Tough Chest, camp kitchen, Dutch oven, camp stove, portable canopy, folding tables, chuck box, Igloo 70 quart cooler, camp lanterns, and amsteel blue rope. Their trailer and equipment is a vital component of their troop’s efforts and used for fundraising and outings.

Boy Scouts of America as a viable form of youth ministry with the Catholic youth of our nation. Troop 429 can be found in El Paso, Texas in the Yucca Council Polaris District.
