Father Mark Murphy's Welcome 

We are happy to have you join our worshipping community. In Baptism, we belong to the one Body of Christ, the universal Church. Join us as we build the Kingdom of God in our community and the world. We invite you to learn about who we are, what we do, and the mission we share as disciples of Christ. We look forward to you sharing your faith, time and talents.

St. Jude has many ministries to serve others and our Lord. The distinct talents you bring are extremely important as they enrich us and build up the life of the Church. Prayerfully consider what gifts you and the members of your household might bring to our parish and how you might best share them. Then, complete the Time and Talent survey included in this packet and return it to the parish office or place it in the collection basket at a weekend Mass.

We also ask you to think and pray about the financial commitment you can make to our parish. Financial stewardship helps our parish provide faith formation and education, as well as pastoral services for all our parish members. Stewardship and faith go hand in hand in following Christ.

We also invite you to take advantage of the many spiritual, educational and social
opportunities we offer throughout the year. Being active in your parish is a great way to invite the presence of God into your life and into the life of your family. The parish
bulletin and website ( www.judes.org ) are two ways to keep informed of the many events occurring in our parish.

Welcome to our parish family of St. Jude.  We are here to support you and pray with you, as you support and pray for us.  Guided by the Holy Spirit, we are building the kingdom of God.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Fr. Mark Murphy
Pastor
