Welcome!
Both in trying times and in good we find ourselves drawn back home. The security and peace, as well as the challenge to grow, are to be found in the place of our beginning. This is true for the home where we grew up, but it is also true for our church home. For whatever reason, we sometimes drift away. We may find ourselves in a new place and have difficulty establishing ourselves in the church. We may have suffered a disappointment or something worse. Still, the bonds that tied us to the Church in the beginning are still there.
The Catholic community at St. Jude wants to invite you home. Sometimes complex circumstances come between us. We believe that those can be resolved and the satisfaction of participation in the church can return. We pledge ourselves to work with you to make your coming home an experience of joy in the Lord. We want to extend our welcome to you and your family. Come home and help us build a community of love, support and faith in God.
Sincerely in Christ,
Have you been asking questions like these?
Is something missing in my life?
Do I sometimes wonder at the meaning of my life?
Do the holidays remind me of our childhood customs in the Catholic Church?
Am I worried about how my life has created a distance between me and God?
Do the answers to life’s questions that the world around me gives seem shallow or sad?
Am I uncomfortable around trendy religious groups? Do I miss the stability and strength of the Catholic Faith?
Have I come to think that the Catholic Church might not welcome me back?
If you’ve been wondering about these, or similar questions, you may be hearing God calling you back to the active practice of your Catholic faith. We can help you come back to the Church.
You are invited to attend a wine and cheese reception in your honor on the evening of Saturday, January 9th at 6:15pm. Parishioners will speak about their own journey back to the church and the joy of belonging to such a loving and supportive community. For more information...
