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.

The Catholic Foundation is pleased to announce the results of the 2019 Mass Attendance Count.

In order to have a more accurate account of Mass attendance, Bishop Mark Seitz asked all parishes, missions, seminaries, and convents to conduct the 2019 Mass Attendance Count twice in the month of October. The count was conducted during the weekends of October 12 & 13 and 19 & 20.

Stewardship Coordinator Karina Sandoval was responsible for receiving and averaging both of the weekend counts, which included the English, Spanish, Bilingual, Latin and Filipino Masses.

The results are as follows:
Weekend of October 12 & 13 — 64,172 attendees
Weekend of October 19 & 20 — 66,018 attendees
Average number of attendees for both weekends — 65,097

The Foundation will continue to provide resources for parishes based on this year’s Mass attendance count. For more information on the 2019 Mass Attendance Count results, please contact Karina Sandoval at 915-872-8412 or ksandoval@elpasodiocese.org.
