Over 25 years ago on a Super Bowl Sunday, a single youth group was inspired to begin a movement to help the hungry and those in need. They started the ‘SOUPER BOWL OF CARING’, which is an international movement that has raised millions for charities across America.

You can help the St. Jude SVDP and be a part of making a difference in the lives of others.

An estimated 150 million people around the world will tune in to the Super Bowl football game. There will be parties with abundant food, friendship and fellowship.

During the same time, there will also be those worrying about staying warm, finding shelter and not knowing where their next meal will come from, right here in our church parish area.

The St. Jude parish St. Vincent de Paul Society will be sponsoring our own “SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY” on Super Bowl weekend, February 2nd & 3rd. Please show your support of our efforts to feed and help the poor by dropping a donation in our ‘soup cans’ after mass. For your convenience, your fellow parishioners will be outside all doors of the church.

All proceeds benefit the st. jude svdp society and ***remain in our parish***

Divine Mercy Novena Tuesdays During Lent

During Lent, following the 5:30pm Tuesday evening Mass, our parish will offer an opportunity to focus on God’s limitless mercy, by inviting you to join us for Mass and praying of a Divine Mercy Novena.
