Here are some resources to help you pray at home.

St. Jude History
St. Jude Parish was founded and built through the generosity of the Hammes Family and the determination of the first families that made St. Jude their home. The Hammes family donated the land and much of the funding for both the school and the original church and at their request, the new parish was named for St. Jude.
Their son, Jerry Hammes was recently honored by PBS.
St. Jude listing was last updated on the 4th of April, 2020
