MISSION STATEMENT OF SAINT JUDE THE APOSTLE
We, the Catholic Community of St. Jude the Apostle, unified in the person and message of Jesus Christ, are abundantly blessed with unique gifts and talents. Believing that “much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more (Lk. 12:48),” we are committed to contributing to the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth of God’s people.
