St. Jude Catholic Church is located in Allen, TX -- a northern surburb in the Diocese of Dallas. A small band of interested men and women from Allen, Fairview and Lucas came together in 1980 to consider the possibility of establishing a Catholic Mission in the city of Allen. After countless hours of legwork and paperwork, Bishop Thomas Tschoepe granted them permission to begin this journey. The first public Mass of the newly formed St. Jude Catholic Community was offered at Rountree Elementary School on Sunday, July 5, 1981. It was originally established as a mission chapel of St. Michael’s in McKinney, then later reassigned to St. Mark’s in Plano. It was served on alternate Sundays by Rev. David Fellhauer (now, Bishop of Victoria) and Rev. Duffy Gardner (now, Monsignor, retired). As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of minors and vulnerable adults. As they participate in activities within or sponsored by our Diocese, it is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment which is safe and nurturing. For more details contact us.

St. Jude is unlike most Catholic parishes in the country -- it is a vibrant, loving, caring parish. I think this is in large part because of the CRHP retreat movement that came to St. Judes from St. Annes in Coppell in 2002. Since then it has helped hundreds of men, women, and families to truly be Christ's hands and feet. This parish has been my home for over 20 years, and I was in that first CRHP retreat 15 years ago, and my life has not been the same. Come to St. Jude, get involved, attend the CRHP retreat, and if you're a guy, become a Knight!

I love St. Jude! We've been blessed to live in a community with a wonderful parish and have been a part of St. Jude since we moved to Allen in 1985. People are welcoming and friendly, we have so many ministries to not only support the community but to provide us all opportunities to engage and be a part of the larger Family of our faith!

We have been going to this church for two years and really love it! The people are family oriented and really care. They offer many opportunities for the family and kids to grow spiritually.

Joined St. Jude in 1994 when we transferred here from CA. We saw the new church built and was dissatisfied with the sound system where I found it hard to hear. Finally after a grant from the diocese to upgrade the sound system I can finally hear the readings & homily.
