Worship

  The source and summit of the Catholic Church is the celebration of the sacrifice of the Mass. The Eucharist, the sacrament of our salvation accomplished by Jesus Christ on the Cross, is also a sacrifice of praise in thanksgiving for the work of creation. In the Eucharistic sacrifice the whole of creation loved by God is presented to the Father through the death and the Resurrection of Christ. Through Christ the Church can offer the sacrifice of praise in thanksgiving for all that God has made good, beautiful, and just in creation and in humanity. The Eucharist is a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Father, a blessing by which the Church expresses her gratitude to God for all his benefits, for all that he has accomplished through creation, redemption, and sanctification. The Eucharist is the true, real presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and as a sacrament a grace from God for our sanctification.

     Here at St. Jude Church we come together in union with one another to give praise and thanks to God. With song and prayers we are united with the whole Church in the liturgy. All are welcome and become more a part of our parish community.
