PARISH NOTES:
As we approach the celebration of Christmas, we can
be truly grateful for many things. One of the most important things to be grateful for is our Parish. In the
past weeks, we have seen our Parish Family come together for, our famous Roast Beef Dinner and glorious
Choir Concert, our 1st Annul Toy Drive, all the gifts
that surrounded the Giving Tree, the Christmas Decorations that have been put up so tastefully. We are all
truly blessed to belong here at St. Jude the Apostle
Parish. To continue on with this spiritual season,
I will be available for Confession immediately following all the Masses this weekend . I can not think of a
better way to be spiritually prepared.
When planning, please keep in mind that there will be
no 7:00 P.M. Mass on either Christmas Day or New
Year’s Day.
The Christmas season is just beginning; so may you
and your loved ones continue to enjoy the blessings of
this beautiful season. Don’t be too quick to put away
the Christmas music just yet, as the twelve days of
Christmas haven’t begun.
ATTENTION MINISTRY STAFF
Sign up sheets are now in the Sacristy for Christmas & New Year’s Masses. If you wish to serve
any of these, please sign up ASAP. January – February schedules also are available in the Sacristy.
