The constant support of individuals, families, and parish and community

in our community. During the cold weather, we continue to accept donations of gently used coats, hats, gloves and scarves. Men’s socks are always needed. Please do not leave donations outside if Outreach is closed.

New Year’s Eve Dance
The music kept us dancing all night, the food was delicious and the company was even better. We hope you all had a joyful time and wish you all A
Blessed New Year. The event raised $5,764.00 for the parish of St. Jude.
We are very grateful for the donations from the following contributors:
-Lee Anne’s Flower Shoppe- table centerpieces & vase of flowers
-Ice Cream Cottage- delicious ice cream dessert cups
-Shirley Liquors- gave 10% off wine and champagne
-Shrine Knights of St. Jude- $100 donation

The Baptism of the Lord
hristmas & New Year Events
Along with the gifts a parishioner dropped off for the Outreach Giving Tree, she left a heartfelt note. In her letter,
she explained how important it was for her – and especially for her husband – to have taken such pride in joyfully shopping for and providing for the boy on the star that they had chosen. Being part of St. Jude’s annual program really lifted
her husband’s spirits: the joy in bringing joy to others. It was signed, “Mr. & Mrs. Claus.”
Thank-You to all who participated in the Christmas Giving Tree with toys and other items for the youngsters who
might not have received anything otherwise, and for donating food items for people’s Christmas tables. Through your
generosity, Parish Outreach was able to assist over 300 families. We also thank those folks from other parishes who
brought food and gifts; and some of them “adopted” families, packing some really quite lovely Christmas food baskets
complete with beautiful table cloths, napkins, and candles! With all of the bad things going on in our world, it is good to
know that our Lord still shows His kindness through many of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Even though Thanksgiving and Christmas are past, the need for food and other necessities continues all year
long. At the moment (and that can change tomorrow, of course), the pantry shelves are reasonably well stocked. Although,
while we have a supply of peanut butter on hand, we are very low on jelly/jam to go with it. And while we have diapers
on the shelves, we are out of sizes 5 and 6, which are very much needed. If you are doing New Years’ closet cleaning,
Outreach can make immediate use of any winter clothing, which will go out as fast as it comes in. It is well appreciated
if shorts and other summer clothing can be brought in during the warmer months, as we just don’t have the facilities to
store it until then. And if you are cleaning out your pantry and want to bring food, please do not bring any open packages
or expired food, as we cannot give it out, and have to throw it away. A good rule to use is: if you wouldn’t eat it yourself, don’t give it to someone else. Also, please don’t leave food outside the Outreach or Rectory doors when closed, as
exposure to freezing temperatures could make the food unfit to give to clients. Please bring any food items to Outreach
Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm, or to the church on the weekend. Many thanks for all of your generosity,
understanding, and cooperation.
The Christmas poinsettias in the church this year came from IGHL Flower Barn. They are of excellent quality, and
they even gave us many extra plants which we were able to use in both the church and the parish center; the flower arrangement crew did a beautiful job in the church, and a couple of other “aquarians” have been assisting with the watering,
which needs to be done every couple of days to keep the plants alive and fresh. For future Christmases and Easters, if you
are willing and able to give a couple of hours a week to help with the watering, it would be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks to our adult and children’s choirs for their contributions to our Christmas Season Liturgies. Their prayerful praise really lifted our hearts to the true Spirit of Christmas in celebrating the sacred mysteries of our Lord’s Nativity.
The children did a beautiful job with the pageant at the 9:30 Mass last Sunday. Keep up the good work in spreading the
joy!
The 2014 New Year’s Eve Party went very well. Every comment I have heard has been most positive: party-goers
enjoyed the ambience, the food, the dancing music, and the company. Thanks to Roma Funeral Home for the donation of
the raffle first prize of $750, and to D.J. Bob Vecchio for the donation of the flat-screen television. Gratitude, as well, to
the Kane Family for the use of the round tables, and to The Ice Cream Cottage for donating the delicious tortoni cups for
dessert. “The Girls” who put it all together shopping, ordering, decorating, and cleaning-up, did a marvelous job. While I
receive many of the compliments for a great event, I honestly admit that I did nothing myself to merit the praise, but that
I pass it on to those who actually made it happen. My “contribution” to the process was to give a couple of “OK’s,” signed
a few checks… and then showed up and enjoyed it. Please save the date and plan on attending our next parish gala, a
“Parisian Night” on Saturday, May 2nd.
With Advent, Christmas, and New Year activities, Capital Campaign planning took a temporary back-seat; yet we
have been going back-and-forth over some basic designs for the proposed St. Jude Shrine and chapel for the site of the
old church. We are leaning towards modular construction that will still be able to provide us with a 12’ high ceiling at the
center. When I saw Msgr. Joe Mirro last week, he was very encouraging about the project and said that he looks forward
to seeing the designs. I do too! Please pray for the success of our upcoming campaign.
Many people exiting Mass on Christmas thanked me for the copy of “Finding True Happiness” by Fulton J. Sheen.
In a small volume, there is great spiritual-practical wealth. I do hope that your family will read and profit from it. However,
I do believe that there were a couple of rows of people who didn’t get the book at the last Christmas Day Mass at 11:30
am. If you were one of them, please call the rectory to let me know so that we can order a copy for your family. Thanks.
Please save the dates of March 3rd, 4th, and 5th for our St. Jude Parish Lenten Mission that will be led by members of our parish. They have been praying, meeting and preparing to present several talks on “Living a Spiritual Life in
a Secular World.” Certainly something to look forward to. That’s enough for now; and hopefully your New Year is going
well…
In Christ, Fr. Greg

Living Stewardship
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who answer their
baptismal call by placing their gifts and resources, their very selves, at God’s
service not only in the Church but in the world.
Bulletin Reflection
Today, we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. The U.S. Bishops’ Pastoral on
Stewardship reminds us that Baptism gives us a share in His priestly work
and calls us “to offer up the world and all that is in it-especially ourselvesto the Lord of all.”
St. Vincent de Paul
Baptism is not merely an event that happened in the past, an event that is
over and done with. We are to live that baptismal call every day. Baptism
plunges us into an ongoing way of living whereby our lives patterned after
Christ’s. “Join the Society of St. Vincent de Paul!”
