Seidl began and fostered during his years at St. Jude, have continued and flourished, as can be seen by all the awards and trophies around the school. Volunteers coach basketball, volleyball, football and cheer leading for our students in the school. We also have an adult softball team. Today, the parish offers a funeral dinner service that is offered to families. The involvement of the laity has grown to include participation in Eucharistic ministries, both in the church and to the homebound and hospitalized.
Spirituality is supported by a prayer group, Bible study and various prayer services.
Cursillo, Marriage Encounter, RCIA, Knights of Columbus and our welcoming committee have touched the lives of many in the community. St. Jude would never have become the vital parish it is without the hard work of dedicated parishioners. Over the years, they have comprised the various organizations and volunteer efforts. These organizations have blossomed into a parish council that invisions and oversees the growth, development and life of our growing parish. With the ever-increasing number of families attending St. Jude, Father Richard Ross, pastor in 1982, gathered a group together to explore the possibility of building a new church.
