Sacraments at St. Jude Church

Welcome to St. Jude Church, where we embrace the seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church, divine gifts bestowed upon us to sanctify and nourish our souls on the journey of faith. Baptism marks the beginning of our Christian life, while Confirmation empowers us with the Holy Spirit’s gifts to be witnesses of Christ’s love. The Eucharist, the source and summit of our faith, unites us with the Lord in His Body and Blood. Through Reconciliation, we encounter God’s mercy and forgiveness. The Anointing of the Sick brings spiritual consolation to the suffering. Matrimony unites couples in lifelong love, mirroring Christ’s love for His Church. Finally, Holy Orders ordain bishops, priests, and deacons to serve and lead the Church. Each sacrament is a profound encounter with the divine, enriching our lives with His grace. Join us in celebrating these sacred mysteries that draw us closer to God.
