Welcome To Our New Pastor Fr. Tom Brooks

St. Jude would like to extend a warm welcome to our new pastor, Fr. Tom Brooks.

It is an exciting moment for all of us here as you step up as our shepherd and guide in the faith life of our parish. While we know everyone at OLP will deeply miss you we are happy to welcome you to our parish family and looking forward to getting the chance to know and work with you. You are in our prayers as we begin this new chapter in the life of our parish.

 


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.

 


Baptismal Class

 

There will be a Baptismal Class, Sunday, July 12th at 1:00pm in the Founders Room. Parents who are planning to have a child baptized in the next few months and who have not attended a previous baptism class, are required to attend a class before the child's baptism. Please call the parish office to register - 833-0927.

 


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".
