Greetings from Bishop Rodriguez:

I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you, praying always with joy in my every prayer for all of you... I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.  + Philippians 1:3-5

  Welcome to the Internet home for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lubbock.  This home page and the other pages on our site are designed to provide you with access to indispensable information about the ministries and activities of the Church of Lubbock as well as valuable links to other resources.  I sincerely hope you will find that your visit here was an informative and inspiring experience.

  The Diocese of Lubbock -- encompassing 25 counties on the high and rolling plains south of the Texas Panhandle -- is a church of more than 80,000 Catholics who gather in 62 parish churches.  Ours is a delightfully diverse -- a truly "catholic" -- church.  Please feel free to visit us in person and discover how you might draw closer to Jesus Christ in our midst, living with us a life of sacramental grace and loving service.

  May God bless you and grant you prosperity as you live a life of authentic Christian discipleship and stewardship.

Most Rev. Placido Rodriguez, CMF
Bishop of Lubbock
