YOUTH GROUP ATTENDS MOUNT 2000 - 2023 RETREAT
For many years, Mount Saint Mary's Seminary has hosted a weekend Eucharist-focused retreat for high school teens called MOUNT2000 (https://www.mount2000.com/). This event is entirely organized by the seminarians. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, 2,000 teens from surrounding states gathered annually for this weekend, which includes Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, exciting nationally known speakers and musicians, and breakout sessions for the teens led by seminarians. The beautiful hillside campus of Mount St. Mary's University provides the perfect setting for this inspirational event. Member of the St Jude Youth Group attended Mount 2000 the first weekend of February 2023.







St. Jude Youth Group - Advent Canned Food Collection Project A GREAT SUCCESS!!

The St. Jude Youth Group Advent “YES WE CAN” drive, collected more than 1000 canned goods for the St. Stephen Pantry at the Shrine of St. Jude.

The generosity of parishioners, helped stock the shelves of the pantry with canned soups, fruit, vegetables, tuna and sauces.  In addition to the canned food, packaged and boxed food items were also collected.

The St. Stephen Food Pantry serves around 200 clients weekly and each client food bag contains 4 to 6 canned good items.

Thank you to all who donated and supported our SJ Youth Group effort to assist our parishioners and neighbors in need.

SJ Gardens Mulch Night
Greetings,

A big thank you to the teens of the Shrine of St. Jude Youth Ministry who sacrificed their Friday night (May 20, 2022) to mulch the church gardens.  Our youth are an awesome group who tackled a dirty job to enhance the beauty of our church landscape. 

As a St. Jude volunteer gardener, I was pleased with how the teens jumped to the task with knocking out all of the church gardens within an hour.  Their effort saves the St. Jude gardeners the labor of weeding and watering since a decent layer of mulch retains moisture and suppresses weeds.  Plus, the gardens look wonderful after a fresh mulching.

Special thanks to the ministry youth leaders and to Father Jorge for the ongoing guidance they provide to our wonderful parish teens.

God bless our parish youth.
