“This is my beloved Son with whom I am
well pleased. Listen to him.”
(Matthew 17:1-9)
Dear Friends:
Last weekend we were very happy to welcome
Father Mike back to Saint Jude after 3 months away
for surgery and recovery. Thank you for your
continued prayers for him and for all who are sick.
As I mentioned at Mass, he will celebrate 50 years as
a priest this year. We are in the initial stages of
planning a little something for him and will keep you
posted.
We also formally welcomed our RCIA candidates
and catechumens during the Rite of Sending at the
4:00pm Mass. Our congratulations to them and our
thanks for their witness! Please continue to keep them
in your prayers.
I also attended our Catholic Daughters’ Tea and
Open House on Sunday afternoon. The entire Parish
Hall was decorated in an Irish theme and looked
great. The ladies spoke about the mission of the
Catholic Daughters and took questions from visitors.
Thanks again to our CDA for all that you do for our
parish!
We are looking for
volunteers to assist in the
taping of the Mass each
weekend. You can do this
work at the Mass that you attend! Training
will be offered along with a step by step
guide. If you are interested in assisting in
videoing and recording the Mass, please
contact Deacon James in the parish office,
225-766-2431. or email,
[email protected]
