St. Jude launches new community events this year under its new program - H.O.P.E Helping Our Parish Encounter. Join us for our kick-off, drive-by family event on Saturday, August 1 after the 5 PM Mass, and help us ‘fill the bus’ with school supplies. The children will be blessed by the clergy and everyone can enjoy a nice cold refreshing freezer pop. School supply donations will go to Catholic Charities of Dallas and three schools in Allen. This will be a blessing to so many children and their parents who do not have the means to purchase school supplies. If you are not able to go to the drive-by event on August 1, please bring your donations to the office by Friday, July 31. A list of requested donations is on page 5.
