Events

The Catholic Foundation conducts a number of events each year to engage donors with the priests and religious of the diocese, to enjoy the ministry of hospitality, to learn about the foundation and other topics of interest to members, and to build the Body of Christ in West Texas. Among these are

Membership Dinner - often referred to as "Winterfest" this event is held in late January, for annual donors of $250 or more.  It is a wonderful opportunity to invite new members to the foundation. The Winterfest will not be held in 2021. 

Summer Event - Members and grant recipients gather in the summer for fellowship in support of the mission of the Foundation. This casual event is a reminder that seeds planted through gifts to the Foundation do reap fruits for the success of the Diocese.

Other Events  - The Catholic Foundation has co-sponsored the annual Memorial Day and Veterans Day Masses and provides memorial opportunities at each event. From time to time the Foundation hosts gatherings of CPAs, financial planners, attorneys and other tax advisors.
