St Jude's is the living miracle of the Lord's blessing of the five fish and five loaves and feeding the multitude. The people of St. Jude's support the Outreach program with donations of money and food. Each month we help families of the community with rent, utilities, medicine, food, etc. At the end of the month our food cupboard is full and there is still money available to help the needy. God is blessing our display of love and charity.

FOOD....Food for Thought. When most of us think about food it's WHAT....not IF. Do you have to decide to buy food or medicine? - Or pay for utilities, or pay rent? When you contribute food or money, we can help those who do have to make these choices. Thank you to all the faithful supporters of this ministry and we encourage everyone to give just a little.

O Lord, help us to be content with whatever we possess; protect us from the foolish lie that "more" brings happiness. (Sper) The "good life" is found in the richness of God! The number of applicants for help has soared, which is no surprise. We all feel the pinch of the current economic downturn. We pray you will search your heart and continue your support of this most Christ-like love of neighbor.
