A tribute to Dave Donahue
Dave Donahue was a staple at St. Jude for over 40 years and has had a lasting impact on the parish through all his years of service. Most recently, he was the leader of the Ushers, head of the Collection Counters, Knight of Columbus, and PREP catechist. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Dave, and God Bless You. Rest in Peace.

The Catholic Church is called many bad names because of our stand on the sacredness of life, marriage, and sexuality. We have several chances in our parish to prove we are, in fact, a loving and compassionate church. Please take the opportunity to reach out to those dealing with addiction and same-sex attraction in two upcoming events:
- Coronas & Christ - Speaker Karl Miller from Courage International
- We Thirst - 5 week Lenten program on the Christian response to addiction
- Who Am I to Judge - a study on presenting Truth with clarity and charity (stop in, or watch it on FORMED)
