San Judas Tadeo Parish arose from a need for a new church to serve the Catholic community west of Downtown El Paso after the San José de Cristo Rey Parish in Smeltertown was closed down in 1973.
This fund helps support the life and programs of the parish.
At first, Mass was celebrated in a dance hall behind a small cantina at the corner of Doniphan and Pacific Drive. Land was purchased at 4006 Hidden Way in 1978 and over time a multipurpose center, church and chapel were built. The Saint Jude Mission was elevated to parish status in 1982.

As a result, endowed funds provide a perpetual, supplemental source of income for such things as the enhancement of programs and ministries, facilities maintenance, scholarships and seminary assistance, priest retirement, etc. Learn more about endowed funds.
