St. Catherine's Catholic Church was built in 1893. Reverend Joseph Hoban, a Carmelite priest, came to St. Catherine's in Pecos in 1901 and served as the first resident clergy. He also served churches in surrounding towns, traveling by train, buggy, and horseback.The fund will help support the life and programs of the parish in perpetuity and the pastors who continue to travel to serve the West Texas communities.
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.
