The Roman Catholic 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
