We’re celebrating Catholic Schools Week and Kaylee, a 6th grader at St. Raphael Catholic School who created Bear-a-thon, sent 1,000 letters to police officers to offer encouragement, and has been invited to give motivational speeches at the Ysleta Independent School District.

We’re so proud of our Foundation Scholars—all 159 of them—and we wish we could have come together to celebrate the annual Foundation Scholars Prayer Breakfast in person.

Catholic schools throughout the Diocese of El Paso will celebrate the 47th Annual Catholic Schools Week from January 31 to February 6. This year’s theme is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.”

Following special tax law changes made earlier this year, cash donations of up to $300 made before December 31, 2020, are now deductible when you file their taxes in 2021. There is still time to make a difference.

Catholic churches and drive-by parades have become synonymous with bringing the community together, commemorating special occasions like ordinations and weddings, and celebrating feast days.
