The Holy Mass is the heart of Catholic worship and the source and summit of our Christian life. At Holy Mass, we gather as a parish family to hear God’s Word, give thanks, and receive Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Through the prayers, Scripture readings, and celebration of the Eucharist, we are strengthened in faith and sent forth to live the Gospel in our daily lives.
Whether you are a lifelong Catholic, returning to the Church, or visiting St. Jude for the first time, you are welcome to join us in the celebration of the Mass.

Lector Schedule
Are you a reader at Mass? Double check the schedule here.
Interested in becoming a reader at Mass? Readers (commonly called Lectors) are entrusted with the task of making the Word of God come alive by proclaiming it in such a way that the congregation hears Him speaking to them. With practice, we are able to fulfill our task and make the Liturgy more meaningful for all. Those who are designated to server as readers shall be Roman Catholics who are fully initiated (through Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist), are in good standing with the Church, embody a mature Christian lifestyle and can proclaim the Scriptures with faith and skill. As a rule, readers are to be at least 16 years old. Training includes articulation, phrasing, voice projection and microphone use. Each reader receives a manual of the readings for the year, with meditations and appropriate suggestions for effective proclaiming. Readers are assigned on a rotating basis at the Mass which is preferred.
