HELP PRESERVE A PIECE OF EL PASO'S SACRED HISTORY

St. Matthew Parish

Endowment Fund

St. Matthew Church started as a mission of St. Patrick Cathedral when religious formation classes began being held in the Upper Valley in the home of a parishioner in the early 1950s. A church was built on Emory Rd. and St. Matthew was elevated to a parish in 1955.

Why Give to Endowment?

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.
