St. Jude Catholic Church

We understand the many thoughts that can come from visiting a new church, so we want you to feel completely comfortable when you visit. Below are some frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us or talk with an usher when you visit.

When Are Services?
Saturday: 5:00 pm | Sunday: 9:00 am | Tuesday – Friday: TBA

What Should I Wear?
Out of respect and reverence for the Most Blessed Sacarament which is reserved in the church, we ask that all ladies wear skirts or pants that cover the knee, as well as something to cover their shoulders. For gentlemen, we ask that pants and shirts that cover the shoulders be worn. Thank you.

Where do my children go?
We believe that it is paramount to instruct children in the Faith and in piety and reverence for the Most Blessed Sacrament from a young age. Therefore, children are invited to sit in the pews, as well, and participate with everyone else present at Mass.

I'm not Catholic... is it okay for me to participate in Communion?
As Catholics, we believe that the bread and wine offered in the Holy Mass truly become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. As a result, participation in the reception of Holy Communion is restricted to Catholics in good standing who are not conscious of having committed any mortal sin since their last Confession. If you are not Catholic, you are invited to still come forward when everyone else does to receive Holy Communion, but you may cross your arms over your chest to indicate to the priest to give you a blessing instead; or you may remain kneeling or seated in your pew.

Am I expected to put money in the offering?
No, but any generosity given, whether financial or spiritual, toward furthering the mission of the City of St. Jude is greatly appreciated.
