Starting Tuesday August 25, the Breezeway doors leading from the back parking lot to the church will be locked from 7:45 am to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Parishioners will not have access to the Breezeway in order to get to the church for daily Mass. The Breezeway and the Thaddeus Room bathrooms will be for school children only during the school week. Please park in the front lot of the church or in the lower lot by the rectory until further notice. Please keep the teachers and the school children in your prayers as the school will open up this week on August 25th for in-person teaching as well as virtual teaching. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
St. Jude Regional Catholic School Prayer to Begin a School Year
Blessed are you, Lord God,
Creator of body and mind and heart;
you have sent the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge
to guide your people in all their ways.
At the beginning of this new school year
we implore your mercy:
bless the students, teachers, and staff of
St. Jude Regional Catholic School,
that together we may grow in faith, hope, and love
as we learn from you and each other
how to follow your Son Jesus.
Expand the horizons of our minds,
that we may grow in wisdom,
understanding, and knowledge;
deepen our commitment to seek the truth of your ways;
and enliven our faith to reach out to those in need.
Glory and praise to you, Lord God,
in the Church and in Christ Jesus
forever and ever.
