Mission Statement

The Mission of the Toolbox ministry at St. Jude is to offer:
- general repair projects to parishioners who have an immediate need,
- for those who are unable to provide for themselves,
- and to support other ministries within the parish, Diocesan projects, interfaith projects, and the community at large.
All volunteers will be safety-cleared through the Diocese of Dallas Safe Environment Program, and will humbly do so with a servants heart. We will work at the pleasure of the pastor of St. Jude.

The St. Jude Toolbox ministry built a handicap ramp June 2, 2018 for a family in need. This ramp will enable a handicapped woman the ability to lead a more independent life. She can now get in and out of her house without assistance. They were so thankful for what we did for them. And it was very rewarding for us to able to help them. We all enjoyed the build and the fellowship, but not the bug bites! Deep Woods Off is on the checklist for the next build. Pictured from left to right are Frank Scerbo, Jim Damaskinos, Tom Wolowicz, Jerry Vaughan and Ken Pietrasik. We have another ramp planned for this fall. For more information or to get involved in this rewarding ministry, contact Jerry Vaughn.
