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.

2019 ORDINATIONS TONIGHT!

The Most Rev. Mark Joseph Seitz, D.D., Bishop of El Paso, will ordain Michael Lewis and Miguel Pérez to the Priesthood and Iván Montelongo to the Sacred Order of the Diaconate at 6:30pm during a special Mass at St. Patrick Cathedral in downtown El Paso. This is the culmination of many years of hard work and study.

After the Ordination Mass, Mike and Miguel will extend their hands to offer each of you a blessing as newly ordained priests. Witness one of the most beautiful, solemn, and joyful liturgies celebrated in the Catholic Church and honor these men with your presence.
