St. Jude’s 2010 Camaro Raffle - September 13th!
 I
know what you’re thinking and the answer is, “Yes.” That is a Chevy
2010 Camaro 1LT Coupe that we’re raffling off this year. And it is
one gorgeous car.
If you would like a
chance to win that car and support our parish in the process all you
have to do is pick up a raffle ticket. Tickets will be available
this weekend for purchase after our weekend masses as well as
arriving in the mail.

Youth Group
Putt-Putt & Bumper Boats: Monday, July 6th 11:00-2:30 (6-12)
It is time once again for a summer favorite to return. We will be
heading to the one of a kind Sunview Mini-Golf in Edinboro for the
best putt-putting within driving distance. The cost is $9.00 and
that includes your transportation, a round of putt-putt, a ride on
the bumper boats, as well as pizza and drinks for lunch. As per
usual if you’re interested please call the Youth Office at 836-8541
to reserve your spot.
Backyard Competition: Wednesday, July 15th 2:00-3:30 (6-12)
This will be a Youth Group first. We will be gathering together in
the church yard next to the Confirmation Garden for some rousing
competitions including horseshoes, Ladder Ball, Can Jam, and more.
After some great competitions we will enjoy some snacks too. This
event is free and if you’re interested in testing your luck, skill,
and talent with us please give the Youth Office a call at 836-8541.
Habitat for Humanity: Thursday, July 23rd 7:00-12:00 (+16)
Whether you need service hours or are just looking for a richly
rewarding way to spend a morning, Habitat for Humanity is for you.
We have been working with the Erie Area branch of Habitat for years
and this will be our first venture with them this summer. Even if
you’ve never worn a tool belt this will be a day you won’t forget.
If you are interested in volunteering please call the Youth Office
at 836-8541 now.
Cedar Point: Tuesday, July 28th 7:00am-12:00am (6-12) The
classic, most requested trip of the summer is finally here! We will
be headed to Cedar Point during the last week of July. If you are
interested in joining us (and, honestly, who wouldn’t be?) the cost
is $56 and that covers your bus ride down and back and admittance to
the park. Permission slips can be picked up in the rectory office.
Due to the popularity of this trip, your spot is not reserved until
your permission slip and check have been returned to the Youth
Office.

Food for the Needy
The containers of food that you see at the entrances of our
church are donations by our parishioners for the St. Andrew Food
Pantry. If you can spare some items for the hungry of our area,
please leave something the next time you come to church. When we
feed the hungry, we serve Jesus, "for I was hungry and you gave me
to eat".
