The Sisters In Action Fund was created by Dr. Martha Casas in memory of her beloved Aunt, Sister. Antonia de Maria, SSHJP. Sister Antonia de Maria, was a sister of the Servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and of the Poor; an order that has been serving in El Paso since 1920.
The Endowment was established to support the Religious Sisters doing the Lord’s work in the Diocese of El Paso. Through the distributions of the Sisters in Action Fund, Sisters can use the funds to enrich their own lives spiritually, attend retreats, workshops, and classes, purchase personal items, and also help them to gain additional knowledge about their ministries so that their work will become even more meaningful and beneficial to them but also to the El Paso community.
Endowed funds provide a vehicle through which individuals make outright or planned gifts that will have an everlasting impact on the ministry/parish/school. In time the income generated by the gift will far exceed the original donation.
As a result, endowed funds provide a perpetual, supplemental source of income for such things as the enhancement of programs and ministries, facilities maintenance, scholarships and seminary assistance, priest retirement, etc. Learn more about endowed funds.
In addition to online donations, there are a variety of ways you can donate to support this fund.
