A Message from Father Ayub

I am blessed to serve as pastor of this faith community with a destiny and to bring the Good News to all of God’s people. I hope you find your experience to be warm and welcoming as we embrace all who join us. We are celebrating our 80th anniversary as a parish in 2026. During those years, we have all been blessed to serve the Northeast area of Grand Rapids Michigan through various ministries. We serve 900 registered families. We welcome visits from families living in the neighborhood and those who might enjoy the unique architecture and first spectacular modern Church building in Grand Rapids Michigan. We, as the parts of the mystical body of Christ, working together, find great joy in doing God’s work here at St. Jude Parish.

We are a very Catholic parish, and I would like to welcome you to St. Jude to worship with us and visit the statue of our patron Saint, which conveys a man of both strength and humility. We are certainly glad to have you visit and experience the vibrant groups and ministries active in this parish. You and your family are always welcome to join us as we undertake our spiritual journey together, and we wish to provide a spiritual home for all. Please check our website and you will find what’s happening around St. Jude.

In Christ,
Fr Ayub Francis Nasar
