JUDE - PARISH MISSION STATEMENTWe the parish family of St. Jude, as members of the Bodyof Christ proclaim the Good News of Jesus in our worship,words and deeds. Out of love for God and neighbor, wededicate our time, talents and treasures to the service of ourfaith community and to those who are in need.Reflection: “For God so loved the world that Hegave His only Son ” (John 3:16)Is your love conditional? Is there a price others have topay to receive your love and forgiveness? Are yougenerous with your time, skills, money, andpossessions? If you give someone something, do youexpect something in return? Do you give your timefreely or do you “fit it in” when it’s convenient foryou? God desires a personal relationship with us somuch that He gave us His Son, unconditionally! Pray fora grateful and generous heart.
-From the PastorHappy Feast Day of the Most Holy Trinity!We ask God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to bevibrantly alive within our parish family extendingGod’s love joy and peace to all. St. Paul in the 2 ndreading puts it this way:The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and thelove of God. and the fellowship of the HolySpirit be with all of you. (2nd Corinthians 13:13)We need this relationship of love with God to dealwith the challenges facing us.We look to an increasing participation withChrist Jesus by participation in the reception ofHoly Communion. As I write this message we havehad two weekends of masses with people receivingHoly Communion while remaining in their cars.Now 10 people are allowed in Church at one timefor weekday masses. After June 12 there is anexpectation, that more people will be allowed in theChurch which would impact our Sunday masses.At this time we do not have the number ofcongregants that will be permitted to be at Sundaymass in the church for Sunday June 13/14.People will still be able to come to Mass andstay in their cars and receive communion in theircars.
