 Thank you for visiting the St. Jude the Apostle website! As a Catholic community of faith we have a particular charism that calls us to not only preach and teach God's people from behind a pulpit but to walk in the very presence of those we meet. We cherish the possibility that Jesus would visit us as a neighbor, a stranger or an outcast of society. In this mission we need the Spirit's gifts of discipleship, healing and service. Only when we are one in Jesus and one in each other can we come to share in the salvation promised to each of us. Pray that we may continue to move toward a community modeled on a Disciple of Jesus - St. Jude the Apostle.
Our parish is served by pastor Fr. Matt Simonar. Fr. Matt and all of us here at St. Jude invite you to connect with our parish through many areas of ministry including liturgy and prayer, educational opportunities, social events, social justice avenues, spanish ministry and many more. Please join us as we come together as family and reach out to our neighbors.
Blessings to you and your family,
The St. Jude Parish Staff

Life On The Edge: Colorado
"Life On The Edge: Colorado" is a nine day, intense retreat experience for high school teens and young adults. It is 9 days of intense physical challenges, community building, leadership training, and prayer experiences. The goal of the experience is for participants to encounter God and His Church through intense experiences of faith, physical adversity, and intellectual depth.
When is LOTE:C?
Friday, June 29 - Saturday July 7. We will be leaving June 29 from Oshkosh, WI. Our bus will travel to Dubuque, IA to pick up the squads from the Archdiocese of Dubuque. We will be staying overnight in Omaha, NE both on the way there and on the way home. We'll return to Dubuque and Oshkosh on July 7.
How much does it cost?
Cost is on a per squad basis. For a squad of 6-8 total participants, the total cost is $3,500. We have room for 2 squads and will be doing fundraising that is expected to raise most (if not all) of the total amount. There is a $100 deposit required to reserve your spot.
That cost includes transportation, lodging, food, whitewater rafting, park fees, and other costs. There will be a 3 meals during our travel days that are not included.
Who can attend LOTE:C?
The trip is open to incoming freshmen through outgoing seniors. Ideal candidates for this trip are teens who are interested in experiencing the outdoors, are physically capable, are up for a challenge, are interested in growing closer in their relationship with God, and are willing to be stretched beyond their comfort zones.
We have only 14 spots available, so reserve yours today!

We will be having an informational meeting for all teens who are interested in attending the trip and their parents on

Thank you so much to all the parishioners and teens who supported our Pro-Life Drive to benefit the Bella Medical Clinic! With your help we were able to donate over 200 items to help support the pro-life mission of Bella and parents at risk who choose life for their babies.
This past Sunday evening at CYO our teens sorted the donations and then got to work making tie fleece blankets to add to them. The precision, care and prayers these teenagers put into these blankets was a strong testament to their appreciation for the dignity of all human life - no matter how small. These teens truly lived the words of Archbishop Chaput (Indiana), "Nothing we do to defend the human person, no matter how small, is ever unfruitful or forgotten. Our actions touch other lives and move other hearts in ways we can never fully understand in this world. Don’t ever underestimate the beauty and power of the witness you give in your pro-life work."

| Team work is the name of the game, if you want to finish a blanket quickly! |
With precision, Hunter and Jacob cut squares into their tie fleece blanket. |
