This
small picture cannot do justice to the atmosphere of this place
dedicated to God. When you enter the Sanctuary, your attention
is instantly focused on the crucifix, the symbol of Christ triumphant
over sin and death even as He dies to rise again!

| Full
Stewardship: St. Jude parishioners are committed to donating
their time, talent and treasure
as needed to operate the Parish's physical plant and to fulfill
the educational, social, and religious needs of the Parish.

Like every Catholic parish, our sole purpose is the worship of God
-- centered on the celebration of The Eucharist in holy Mass. This
worship must carry over into our lives minute by minute, but the sanctuary
of our church (left) is the heart of our worship community.
Won't you join us for daily and Sunday
Mass and help us glorify God by joining your voice to ours in prayer? |
Happily,
we can usually no longer celebrate weekday morning Masses in the Holy
Family (small) chapel.
Happily? Yes indeed! The numbers attending have simply become
too great to fit, so weekday Masses - even when the school children
are not present - are now celebrated in the main church! We attribute
this to our Full Stewardship
program.
This chapel is separated from the main sanctuary by a movable glass
wall, which, on Sundays, allows families with small children to be
an active part of the congreation without unduly disturbing the larger
group. |

Holy Family chapel where Exposition of The
Blessed Sacrament takes place.
This chapel is open at nearly all hours
for personal quiet prayer and
conversation with Our Lord. |
