Dear Parish Families and Parishioners: 

Please know you remain in our prayers during this time. Our church might be a little quieter for the moment, but our parish can still be alive within your individual homes. Remember, you are the Church, even within the unexpected hermitage we have all found ourselves dwelling. Though we should continue on with strong prayer and catechesis as individual families at home, we can still connect as a parish through online capabilities. Here is how:

Mass Online
We have worked hard to help you have access to watch Mass. 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.

Your Sunday offering
Please also remember, even though our church is quiet, facility utilities do not go away. Needs of our community, ministry, and families still remain as well. We cannot meet these needs without your help. As we are not able to serve in large groups or in person, our gifts of prayer and treasure are ever so important, even crucial to get us through this difficult time. 

If you haven’t already, please consider setting up a gift online. It takes two simple steps and the rest is seamless, automatic, and very flexible. Please visit our donation page at St. Jude Online Giving to learn more about this important service.  If you prefer, you can also set up ACH payments through a checking or savings account.

You can also continue to mail your gifts and envelopes to the parish at: 
St. Jude Church
590 Poplar St.
Elyria, OH  44035

If you have any questions regarding your online donation or ACH payments, please contact Cindy Kozma at 440-366-5711 ext. 107 or [email protected].

May God bless you and your loved ones. 

Rev. Joseph Scalco, CSJ
