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.

All are invited to the chapel in St. Jude Church for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, which takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 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.
