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.

Our Lady of the Valley Students Receive Generous Gifts for Scholarships at Foundation of Faith Dinner
Our Lady of the Valley Students Receive Generous Gifts for Scholarships at Foundation of Faith Dinner

Donors who attended the 10th Annual Foundation of Faith Dinner amazed us all by contributing close to $30,000 during a live auction led by Victoria Pineda, including $4,100 which is going directly to a “needs” item: scholarships for Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School.

100% of the proceeds from the needs packages benefit the designated school, need, parish, charity, or fund. Different needs are highlighted each year at the Foundation of Faith Dinner.

Following the dinner, Principal Cynthia Vargas said, “I realize more and more how many people love to assist students attending Our Lady of the Valley and all of our Catholic schools. This drives me.”

The students created homemade thank you cards which will be sent out to our donors.
