Dear Friend in Christ,
As we embrace the holy season of Advent, a time of hope, peace, joy, and love, we are invited to reflect on the blessings in our lives and consider how we share them with others. Your generous support helps our parish live out Christ’s mission, even as the pace of daily life picks up with family, work, and holiday preparations.
We are also approaching the end of the year and I am asking you to prayerfully consider to increase your donation or to add a one-time gift.
We offer several methods of giving for your convenience – Sunday envelopes, Electronic Tithing, QCDs from your retirement plans and our Online Giving platform from ParishSoft. We added the option of online giving as a convenience for you; a cost effective and efficient way to give; allows us to reduce expenses on paper, envelopes and mailing costs.
If you are currently using the online giving option, Thank You. If you are using Electronic Tithing from your bank you do not need to do anything.
I encourage you to commit to regular, recurring contributions to St. Jude; it empowers us to budget effectively and plan for the ministries that are important to you.
We have added the ‘Special Holy-Day envelopes’ to the Online Giving page: Ship of Hope, Capital Improvement, Msgr Brophy Fund, Immaculate Conception Dec. 8, Christmas, All Saints Day – Nov 1, Solemnity of Mary – Jan 1, Easter.
To use the Online Giving option simply fill out the secure online enrollment form at:

Or call ParishSOFT toll-free at (866) 930-4774 to speak with someone directly.
Thank you for being part of St. Jude’s and for helping us share the gifts of Christ this Advent.
In His name,
Father Ayub Francis Nasar
