Welcome to St. Jude the Apostle Parish We are a group of people committed to following Jesus. That means we worship him with vigor and joy. That means we encourage prayer in church and throughout life. That means we love people outside the church through generosity, invitation, and compassion. Our hope is that all people will feel loved and welcomed at St. Jude. And once here, we pray that people will meet God and as a result of meeting God, give their lives to Jesus Christ. We want that for you. Come as you are. Check us out, but more importantly, seek the truth of God that can only be known when one knows Jesus.

On October 7, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the yearly feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Known for several centuries by the alternate title of Our Lady of Victory, the feast day takes place in honor of a 16th century naval victory which secured Europe against Turkish invasion. Pope St. Pius V attributed the victory to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was invoked on the day of the battle through a campaign to pray the Rosary throughout Europe. The feast always occurs one week after the similar Byzantine celebration of the Protection of the Mother of God, which most Eastern Orthodox Christians and Eastern Catholics celebrate on October 1 in memory of a 10th-century military victory which protected Constantinople against invasion after a reported Marian apparition.

Science in service of the sacred An appreciation of science does not detract from our sense of wonder and awe at the mystery and beauty of the universe. Rather it enhances our understanding of how all things work together for the good : from the tiniest invisible particles to the vast forces that govern galaxies. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church says, Science and technology are precious resources that benefit humanity. Yet by themselves they cannot disclose the meaning of existence and of human progress. Scientific accomplishments must always be at the service of the human person. To discern that, we look to a higher source
