New Office Hours
Starting on Friday, May 27th the office will be closing at noon.  New hours are: Monday-Thursday 9:00AM-4:00 PM and Friday 9:00AM-12 Noon.

Offertory Envelopes
If you are giving online and no longer wish to receive offertory envelopes, please let us know.  Also, if you are leaving for the summer, please notify the office and we can stop your envelopes while you are away. Please consider using our online giving portal at www.judeparish.org. Please assist us by putting your envelope number on your check memo line.

As we shared earlier due to supply issues beyond our control, we are now producing our church bulletin in house. It takes a team of volunteers to get this done on a weekly basis. We are glad to be receiving many compliments on the new bulletin format. We are needing ads to help offset the costs of the bulletin. We are looking for someone to assist with this project. If you have skills or experience in acquiring advertising and/or designing ads your gifts are needed. Call or email the church office. If you would like to have an ad for your business in the bulletin, please let us know that as well.

Father Raul’s 18th Anniversary of Priestly Ordination – May 29th

“May God bless you and all you have achieved and will continue to achieve. Enjoy your special day with those that are dear to you. Warm and loving congratulations on your 18th anniversary in the priesthood. Thank you for your years of service to God and his people”.

How to congratulate Fr Raul on his Ordination Anniversary:  1- Reach out and shake the hand of a priest celebrating an ordination anniversary. 2- Send a congratulatory card to signal that you consider your priest's ordination to be a cause for recognition. 3- Bring a small gift to the priest's office to commemorate the anniversary. Deliver a cup of coffee, if that is a favorite thing, to the office in the morning. Offer to take your priest out to breakfast or lunch to celebrate the special day. 4- Telephone to express your congratulations on your priest's ordination anniversary. Leave a cheerful message.

"Weekend of Divine Providence”

Support the St. Jude Food Pantry
The first weekend of each month, at all Masses, will be dedicated to providing food for those in need. WE NEED YOUR HELP. We are asking that all of our families drop nonperishable food items in the St. Teresa of Calcutta food collection box (in the foyer of the church). Please continue to pray for and support those struggling families in our community as we share what we have with our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Our current food needs are below:

Baked Beans  -Pasta Beans, canned and dried - Ramen Noodles - Canned Fruit - Rice - Canned Potatoes, Soup, Stew & Chili - Canned tuna, chicken, spam, ham - Spaghetti O’s - Cereal - Spaghetti Sauce - Jam or Jelly - Tea & Coffee - Mac and cheese 

Cleaning of the Church
We are in need of volunteers to help on Mondays after the 8AM Mass to clean the church. This is light cleaning, such as vacuuming, dusting and straightening any envelopes in the back of the pews. If you feel called to serve in this ministry, please come to the 8AM Mass on Mondays or call the office at 352-347-0154. We extend our gratitude to the ladies that take the time to clean the church for all of us.

Has God Blessed You with The Gift of Music?  If so, please contact the church office. We are always looking for musicians (Guitar, Piano and Organ just to name a few) and choir members for all masses.

Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary will meet every third Saturday of the month 10 AM at St Jude Catholic Community.
