The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso supports the Diocese of El Paso through your gifts of prayer, service and giving. Together we can make a lasting impact on our parishes, schools, ministries and charities.

As we reflect on the unwavering dedication and spiritual guidance our priests have provided throughout their lives, it’s clear that their service doesn’t end with retirement. Retired priests often assist parish priests with Sunday Mass, visit the sick, bring the sacraments to those in need, and stay involved in the activities of parishes, schools, and ministries in our community.

The Retired Priests Appreciation Fund is a heartfelt way to express our gratitude and ensure these devoted men are cared for in their later years. Your generous contribution directly supports their health and well-being, covering essential costs like medical care, housing, transportation, and personal needs. It’s a tangible way to give back to those who have given — and continue to give — so much of themselves to our community, offering them the dignity and security they deserve after a lifetime of ministry.

Your support for this need is more than just a donation; it’s a promise to honor a sacred legacy. By contributing, you’re not only providing for the physical needs of our retired priests but also affirming the profound impact they’ve had on countless lives. This act of kindness ensures that they can live their retirement years with comfort and peace, knowing that the community they served for so long has not forgotten them. Please consider making a gift today to the Retired Priests Appreciation Fund and join us in this vital mission of gratitude and care

Let’s Give Back to Our Retired Priests!

“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace. Whoever preaches, let it be with the words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 10-11
