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.

Analisa Cordova-Silverstein is heading to West Texas 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. Analisa is looking forward to learning more about these historic parishes and missions; with some of these buildings built as far back as the 1400s, restoration, and upkeep are essential in telling their story. Some missions, like the St. Joseph Mission in Ft. Davis, are Texas Historical markers. She will be at the following masses to discuss the endowments from January 23-26, 2025.

January 23 – St. Mary’s Parish - 5 pm Mass
