Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
apital Campaign Update
We have completed the parish planning study that was conducted during the months of May through July,
seeking input, advice and suggestions from all parishioners on our hope to accomplish major projects and capital
improvements. A summary of the report prepared for us by Parish Development was published here in the bulletin
twice in early September. I do hope that you read it. If not, you can obtain a copy at the rectory.
First let me say Thank-You to those of you who participated in the planning study. To date, we have received
over 400 responses, and your feedback and input has been very valuable to me and parish leadership as we move
forward with the next steps.Overall, the results are very promising and show that parishioners see the need and support the plan to remove the old rectory, address the candle shrine, and replace the deteriorating old Church with a
new structure that will honor and recognize St. Jude Parish’s history and countless memories. It seems clear to me
that the parish is ready to move forward with these important projects and the other proposed capital improvements
to the parish center and to the “new” church.A quick review shows that:
•When parishioners were asked the question: “How would you rate the parish?” - 98% responded “Very Good” or
“Good.”
•When asked about their involvement and whether they would give to a campaign - 82% responded “Yes.”
•When asked about the top concern about conducting a campaign, many responded that “the economy” was a concern. Many mentioned the concern about being on a fixed or limited income. However, many also said they had no
concerns – or that if we did not address these needs soon, conditions will worsen and become more costly and even
dangerous, especially in the case of the deteriorating old church.
I understand that many of you mentioned a concern about security of any structure built in place of the old
church and hope that we can maintain the integrity of that sacred space. In light of that, and in response to numerous suggestions, we are strongly looking into replacing the old church with a slightly smaller scale model of it
to be employed as a Daily Mass Chapel, with the St. Jude Shrine attached. With your support, this will become
a reality!
“Why,” many have asked, “can’t we just renovate the old church? Why does it have to come down?” In simplest
terms, the former church was built in 1937 as a ‘Mission Church’ of St. John, Center Moriches. A priest would travel
from St. John to offer Sunday Mass and the Sacraments during the summer months, when people “came out to the
country.” Mission churches were built as small, simple, temporary structures in order to accommodate the fledgling
Catholic population in an area; the expectation being that when in 10-20 years or so, and when the community grew
sufficiently and became its own parish entity (as St. Jude did in 1949), the mission church would be demolished and
give way to a permanent, larger, properly structured and appointedchurch building to accommodate the parish for
many years to follow.
Looking at old photos of the edifice, one can see that it was originally just a rectangular “box”structure, consistingof the nave (main body) and sanctuary. There was no sacristy (I suppose that the priest brought the requisites
he needed for Mass and set up and vested right in the sanctuary), and the eastern transept (perpendicular wing) did
not exist. There was no heat source, no plumbing, no stained glass other than in the sanctuary (which are now in the
new church confessional and in the niche above the statue of Our Lady), and only one entrance/exit: the front doors,
which opened onto a wooden stoop and steps. At some point in the 1940s, the sacristy was added, and subsequently
added to; the transept was added as well, with the furnace in the cellar below the wing to provide forced air heat for
winter use. The roof consists of softwood 4”x12” trusses/rafters, 10’ on center, supported only by 4”x6” posts with
a 2”x6” sistered on! The structure in-between these rafters and posts is comprised of 2”x4”s, and 4”x4” roof purlins
are located between the trusses to support them. Translating this for those unfamiliar with construction/carpentry,
suffice it to say that the roof and walls are very under-structured; so it is no wonder that a number of the trusses and
cross ties have split, and that the western wall is bowing out under the weight of three layers of roofing. And thus,
the reason why a renovation is just not feasible.
When asked to indicate a potential level of giving to a capital campaign, 151 families responded with gifts
ranging from $50 to $20,000 which totaled $331,500. I was very encouraged by the willingness of so many to estimate their giving at this early stage. This is an excellent starting point for us and I appreciate this strong and very
generous level of support. Most pleasing to me was that many commented on their love of the parish, appreciation
for being asked their opinion and a sincere willingness to want to help the parish move forward. So with a very good
percentage of the parish participating and a solid majority supporting our need to accomplish the proposed projects
and improvements, the recommendation is that we move forward with a capital campaign to handle the costs.
I am very conscious and most appreciative of your generosity to previous fund-raising campaigns and please
know that it was a difficult decision for me to have to begin another campaign, especially in these economically challenging times. Yet, as your pastor, I am paternallycommitted to leading this parish and putting the parish property
and buildings in good working order. I appreciate your participation in the planning study and continued support of
our parish with your gifts of time, talent and treasure. I am certain that working together, we will succeed in this effort and have a long and strong future for St. Jude Parish. More details will soon follow so that we can – by the grace
of God and our participation – set this campaign in motion!
In Christ, Fr. Greg

St. Vincent de Paul
It is incredible that the invited guests could refuse to come to such a significant and lavish banquet! But we are invited to a feast even more lavish
and we, too, can fail to see its significance and fail to prepare ourselves. “If
somebody asked Our Lord, ‘Why did you come on earth?’ He would answer:
‘To assist the poor…’ And so, are we not then the happiest of people to be
part of the Mission for the very same reason that moved God to become
one of us?” Join the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?
