St. Jude School

Due to Covid 19, St. Jude School will be closed through April 3rd.  All activities will also be closed during this time.  We will continue to maintain a strong relationship with our students and parents.  This will certainly be a time of growth in patience, compassion, empathy and faith.  We can make St. Jude School Distance Learning memoralbe with your help and cooperation!

Please take a moment and look at my 'homily' for this, the 4th week of Lent.  I will be sending it out on a weekly basis as all of us deal with Covid-19 and our inability to celebrate mass together.  
     Fr. Joe's Homily for the 4th Week of Lent

I want to encourage everyone to find and 'like' the Elyria Catholic Cluster Facebook page - that is a combined page for St. Agnes, St. Jude and St. Mary churches.  We will be live streaming daily reflections; Friday night Stations of the Cross and Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass in addition to posting other resources and informational updates.

Jesus is the spring of new life in his triumph over pain, fears and death!

Afternoon Mother Teresa Prayer
Remembering our Call to see CHRIST in all we meet,
We pray in the words of Blessed Mother Teresa…
 
Lord,
Open our eyes
       So we may recognize
       Our brothers and sisters.
 
Lord,
Open our ears,
       So we may hear the cries
of the hungry, the cold,
the fearful, and the oppressed.
 
Lord,
Open our hearts,
       So we may love one another
       As you love us!
 
Renew in us your Spirit, Lord.
Make us Free and United.
 
                                  Amen.
