Note from Monsignor: Please know that the past two weekends, someone from outside our parish placed flyers on car windows during Masses. We tried to remove as many of them as we could before the Masses were over.
St. Jude Parish did not sponsor this.

In this amazing video, Fr. Mike uses a DC Comics series to explain why God allows suffering, how He enters into it, and the power that our suffering has.
