Campus Ministry Honor RollCompass RecommendedWhat the badges mean

Texas Tech University is not a Catholic college. This rating measures Catholic life on campus: campus ministry, priests, Mass and confession, student groups, and nearby parishes.

Raider Catholic, the Catholic campus ministry at Texas Tech, is based at St. Elizabeth's University Parish on Broadway in Lubbock and its John Saleh Catholic Student Center; the parish is staffed by Dominican priests, and the Diocese of Lubbock lists Rev. Greg Dunn, O.P., as Student Center Chaplain. The diocese lists a Sunday 5:00 PM University Mass among five weekend Masses, weekday Mass Monday through Friday at 5:30 PM in the chapel, and Saturday confession. A Knights of Columbus college council (Texas Tech University Council #14426) meets at the Catholic Student Center.
