St Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Parish

What St Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Parish does

St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Parish is a Roman Catholic parish established on March 11, 1956 by Monsignor James Burnes in Oak Cliff, Southwest Dallas County, Texas, operating under the authority of the Diocese of Dallas and currently led by Pastor Very Rev. Emmett Hall, V.F. (since 2022). The parish serves approximately 2,300 registered members through its core offering: celebration of the seven Catholic sacraments, daily and weekend Mass, and faith formation spanning Pre-K4 through adult, including OCIA, youth ministry, and young adult ministry. A network of lay ministries — Knights of Columbus Council 17111, Guadalupanas Association, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Altar Guild, Newly Married Ministry, and Vacation Bible School — extends the parish's community footprint, alongside the affiliated St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic School (founded 1958) and outreach via SVdP's charitable pharmacy and food-assistance programs.

The parish's underlying technology is a standard nonprofit/religious digital stack rather than a proprietary platform. The website (stelizabethdallas.org) runs on the eCatholic CMS, member communications run on Flocknote email/text, and online giving is processed through Vanco (myvanco) for both general offerings and SVdP donations. The physical footprint is a 1,100-seat sanctuary (dedicated April 1968) on a 22-acre site at 4015 S. Hampton Road, with the Grahmann Center (a converted former rectory) hosting Baptism classes, Knights of Columbus and Guadalupana meetings. Office operations run Tuesday–Friday 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., with after-hours sacramental emergency coverage.

Revenue is generated from recurring tithes and Sunday offerings, online giving (one-time and recurring via bank account or credit card, including Holy Days and repair/maintenance envelopes), Altar Guild annual dues of $20, and donations to the St. Vincent de Paul charitable conference via Vanco, Zelle, or SVdP envelopes. The go-to-market motion is community-led: word-of-mouth, testimonials from multi-generational parishioners, and presence at local community events drive member acquisition; Flocknote, the website, Facebook, and weekly bulletins support retention. Pricing for sacramental services is not disclosed (quinceañeras blessed at no fee; marriage preparation requires 8-month advance notice).
