Welcome To St. Jude!

I am blessed to serve as pastor of this faith community with destiny and to be 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. The 75th anniversary of the parish was celebrated in 2022. 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. The Mass is live streamed for the 10:30 AM Mass on Sunday for those who are unable to come to Church to attend Mass.

In Christ,
Fr Ayub Francis Nasar
Deacon Larry Hoogeboom
Deacon Dan Esch
