GIFTS
FROM BETHLEHAM
Olivewood Handcrafted from the
Holy Land
The Olivewood carving industries
has evolved as a cultural tradition of the Christians
over many centuries. Many Holy Land Christians in the
Bethlehem area alone rely upon the income generated
from this art form. The items are carved by local craftsman.
Many Families are facing critical situations. Without
income, many craftsman and families leave their tradition
trade and emigrate with their families to find relief
from the difficult conditions of their Homeland. Christian
presence in the Holy Land has extended from the Pentecost
to the present. 55 years ago Christian represented more
than 28% of the population and now represent less than
2%. The loss of Christians in the land of Christianity’s
birth will represent a tragedy of immeasurable proportions
for the billion of Christians worldwide. Carvings will
be available to purchase on
February 6 and 7in the
hallway the parish center. Thank you for your vital
support for a Christian tradition and in protecting
this very important culture and industry.

SUNDAY
COFFEE BREAKFASTS
Sunday Breakfasts with
coffee, juice, cereal, bagels, donuts, and community
spirit are held on the first Sunday of each month after
the 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. Masses. These are splendid
moments to enjoy a fine breakfast and chat with fellow
parishioners. They promote healthy ways of getting to
know the people you see at liturgy and never get the
opportunity to engage in conversation. The breakfasts
are prepared by the St. Jude Hospitality Committee,
the Rosary Society, and the Knights of Columbus.

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
All are invited to
the chapel in St. Jude Church for Adoration of the Blessed

p.m. on the first Friday of each month. This is a splendid
way to step away from the hectic pace of life and experience
silence in Christ’s presence.
