We’re organizing a group of volunteers to help clean the radiators throughout the church on Saturday, January 17th, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This is a great way to lend a hand and help keep our church clean and comfortable during the winter months. Volunteers can join for all or part of the day—many hands will make light work!

If you’re able to help, please contact the church office for more information.

On December 30, the St. Jude’s Pantry Program cook team met in the church kitchen for the final time in 2025. Team members George Caughell, Susan Fanelli, Susan Elsely, Rosemary Detje, and Len Favreau, Coordinator of the Pantry Program, prepared 80 soups—bringing the total number of dinners and soups made this year to 13,000!

This represents an 85% increase over the total meals made in 2024—a remarkable accomplishment reflecting the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our parish community. Each meal prepared helps provide nourishment and hope to those who need it most in our community.
