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.

Forming & Nurturing Hearts. Awakening & Strengthening Faith. Building His Kingdom—Together.
Forming & Nurturing Hearts. Awakening & Strengthening Faith. Building His Kingdom—Together.

Every great act of service begins with a heart willing to learn, grow, and say “yes” to God.

Through the Tepeyac Institute, men and women across our Diocese are discovering more than theology—they are discovering their purpose. They are being formed to become stronger disciples, compassionate leaders, and faithful servants who carry Christ’s light back into their homes, parishes, and communities.

Many who enter Tepeyac come with a simple desire to know God more deeply. What they often find is life-changing: a renewed love for the Church, a deeper confidence in their faith, and the courage to serve where God is calling them.

This is the beauty of formation. It does not end in the classroom. It reaches the person in the pew, the family seeking hope, the child preparing for the sacraments, the parish in need of leadership, and the community longing for Christ’s presence.

Through your beautiful gift to the Progress Annual Ministry Appeal, you help make this sacred journey possible. You help open doors for those who are ready to grow, ready to serve, and ready to answer God’s call.

Together, we are not only supporting our ministries—we are helping form the future of our Church, one heart at a time.

Join us and put your faith into action today! For more information, please contact Tina Edwards-Milam, Annual Appeal Director, at 915-872-8412, tedwards-milam@catholicfoundationelpaso.org, or visit 2026progress.org to make your pledge today!
