During this sacred season of Lent, we are called to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—three powerful pillars that strengthen our faith and bring us closer to Christ. This year, with our Progress Annual Ministry Appeal theme “Building His Kingdom, Together,” we are reminded that Lent is not just a personal journey but a shared mission to transform hearts, uplift others, and build God’s Kingdom here on earth.

The Catholic Foundation recently launched the 2025 Progress Annual Appeal with two kick-off events in El Paso and West Texas. These gatherings brought together Appeal Leaders, Pastors, and Administrators to energize support for this most critical effort of the Diocese. This weekend, diocesan parishes will make announcements about the Appeal at all parishes, with commitments on the weekends of February 1-3 and February 8-9. The Progress Annual Ministry Appeal is an annual campaign that funds 15 ministries across 10 counties in the Diocese of El Paso, made possible by the generosity of donors who transform their faith into action.

As we approach Valentine’s Day, a time when love and kindness are celebrated in every corner of our lives, the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso invites you to share your love in a way that will make a meaningful difference. This year, the Sacred Heart Mission in Valentine, Texas, is reaching out to our extended Catholic community to help bring warmth, hope, and compassion to help them with dire improvements to their parish like a new roof and indoor plumbing.

With rising costs of everyday living essentials, we need to budget our personal finances more than ever. Many monthly bills like gas, water, and electricity can be made monthly using an automatic payment processing system. Automatic withdrawals ensure that your bills are being made on time. The same can be done for a donation. Our easy-to-use online payment management system allows you to create a recurring gift to a Catholic cause of your choice. 

Learn the five reasons why donating a small amount over time through a recurring gift can benefit you, the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso, and our Catholic community.

Our Major Gifts Officer, Analisa Cordova-Silverstein, will visit West Texas from January 23 to 26, 2025, to meet with parishioners and educate them about the Catholic Legacy Endowment funds the Catholic Foundation has for the parishes and missions in West Texas.
