Through our participation Baby Bottle campaign over the years, St. Jude parishioners helped SGPC to assist over 38,000 women and to save the lives of over 2,500 babies! With our support, desperate women considering abortion can come to the center and make a life-affirming choice instead.  Please join us in helping Jesus’ “littlest ones” and their parents . . . and thank you for your generosity.

Pro Life Monthly Eucharistic Adoration
On Saturdays in St. Clare’s Chapel, the Pro-Life Committee sponsors Eucharistic Adoration to pray for mothers scheduled for abortions.  Eucharist Adorations begins immediately after the 8:30 a.m. Mass and will conclude at 10:00 a.m.  Please join us on the 2nd Saturday of each month to hold these women up to the Lord and ask that their eyes may be opened to the gift of life they carry, that they will have the strength to keep their babies, and that may find hope and healing in Jesus Christ.
