The Mission Church of St. Elizabeth as it was founded was built under the pastorate of the late Father Gabriel Diamante, member of Frances of the Acenement, who was at that time pastor of St. Joseph's Church, Lubbock, Texas.(1) In the year of 1938, St. Elizabeth's became a parish church with Father Gabriel Diamante as pastor. Between 1935 and 1940 the church was built (at a cost of $25,000, complete)* a frame parish hall was constructed, and additional property was bought to expand the church facility with a rectory wing at a cost of *8,600.(2) Because of a serious illness. Father Gabriel Diamante never occupied the new rectory. As a result, the Paulist Fathers were invited to relieve his duties by Bishop Robert E. Lucey on July 1, 1940.(3) St. Elizabeth's Church was among the first of the Catholic 3enomination in the Lubbock area. It stemmed from St. Joseph's as a secondary facility to coincide with the growth of the City of -ubbock.

In 1948 a Parochial school and social center were constructed and opened on January 31, 1949, occupied by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, Cali fornia. Two years after the addition to the rectory in 1954, the Paulist Fathers left Lubbock and the Parish was taken over by the Diocesan Priests.(4) Father Thomas Drury, presently Bishop of the Diocese of Corpus Christi, was appointed pastor in June of that year. St. Elizabeth's Church laid the foundation for future Lubbock Churches. Land purchased in 1956 was later developed into St. John Newman's Catholic Church facility.(5) A school and chapel facility at Frankford Avenue and 22nd Street was developed. The addition at the St. Elizabeth's parish allowed for the specialization of St. Joseph's to meet the needs of the city wide 'Spanish community of Lubbock. The development of St. Elizabeth's parish coincides with the expansion of Lubbock, Texas. As the city grew, the population of Catholics, students and community densities grew causing the context of the facility to alter greatly. Prior to the 1960's, the parish was typically for a large, dispersed city encompassing all boundaries. With time however, the parish was narrowed to a specific inter—city boundary. Demographic, social, and cultural, economic and political changes took place in the community structure that pin-pointed the efforts of the parish. a 0CC3 GC:3 0CI3 O ^ OC=3 @ lol OC3 ^ The changes dealt with: - academic improvement and expansion of Texas Tech University - southwest development of neighborhoods and micro- communities - economic movement from the central business 'district - social/political/economic dimension of locally adjacent neighborhoods to the parish, highlighting density, housing and standard of living conditions The then Dioceses of Amillio recognized the need for immediate planning to provide for these continually worsening circumstances in the future. The direction was toward a lessening of stress and tensions and to lay the foundation for reconstruction of a Catholic church facility. Texas Tech University Parish The Texas Tech University Parish church was formed in 1964 with the introduction of Father Titto Samuitt. The facility used was a remodeled funeral home. As the church-student center and a very dilapidated four room house that was bought and moved onto the site as the 1iving-spiritually intimate-quarters of Father Bamuitt. The formation of two student service groups, CHI RHO a 0CZ3 OC=3 C!C=3 ®2) OC=3 1^ <^ ^ f^f^«9U Oftoex. oc=a @ (2® OC=l C=3 o 1 ^ (formed in 1964 by Father William Hanley and characterized by Father Titto Samuitt's guidance) and the Catholic Student Center Organization, greatly helped the survival of the student parish. The union of the Catholic Student Parish and St. Elizabeth's Parish Church informally took place in 1981. The old student church facility was used through 1982 until it was demolished. Since that time student participation and use of present facilities has been slack and inconsistent. The availability of student use or physical space was low and the setting was not congenial to the natural behavior of this particular group.
