October 28 Celebrating our - St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church
Feast of St. Jude ~ October 28 Celebrating our Patron Saint St. Jude, known as Thaddaeus, was a brother of St. James the Less, and a relative of Our Saviour. St. Jude was one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus. Feast of St. Jude - Sunday, October 28 We will pray the Novena to St. Jude at all Masses starting on Monday, October 20 in honor of our patron saint. Ancient writers tell us that he preached the Gospel in Judea, Samaria, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Lybia. According to Eusebius, he returned to Jerusalem in the year 62, and assisted at the election of his brother, St. Simeon, as Bishop of Jerusalem. He is an author of an epistle (letter) to the Churches of the East, particularly the Jewish converts, directed against the heresies of the Simonians, Nicolaites, and Gnostics. He is said to have suffered martyrdom in Armenia, which was then a subject of Persia. The final conversion of the Armenian nation to Christianity did not take place until the third century of our era. Jude was the one who asked Jesus at the Last Supper why He would not manifest Himself to the whole world after His resurrection. Little else is known of his life. Legend claims that he visited Beirut and Edessa; possibly martyred with St. Simon in Persia. Jude is invoked in desperate situations because his New Testament letter stresses that the faithful should persevere in the environment of harsh, difficult circumstances, just as their forefathers had done before them. He is considered the patron saint of desperate cases and his feast day is October 28. Join us for a special Mass in Spanish that day at 7:00PM. October 26, 2014 Most Holy Apostle Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of... Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly <here make your request>, and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O Blessed Saint Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. AMEN.

Lewis Mondays - 7:00PM - 9:00PM - St. Jude School Starts Monday, November 3 (4 week class) A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a senior tempter in the service of "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation and triumph over it ever written. Anointed for a Purpose by Mary Sharon Moore Tuesdays - 9:30AM - 11:30AM - Room 233 Starts Tuesday, November 4 Why do you and I, baptized and confirmed as we are in the Holy Spirit, do what we do? Why do we pray and strive to pray well? Why do we engage in relationships with the hopes of bringing dignity and worth to a life shaped by such relationships? Why do we strive to discern God's calling throughout the course of our lifetime? Perhaps we long to succeed, or we intuitively seek our place upon the larger stage of life. But we do what we do because we are impelled by the Holy Spirit who calls out to each of us. We have been anointed for a purpose beyond what any of us can imagine. Anointed for a Purpose by Mary Sharon Moore will help you more fully understand your own sacramental anointing and how this can help you become fully integrated as a human being in God. The author was one of the presenters at our Called and Gifted workshop this past January. To learn more, visit her website at www.marysharonmoore.com Missionaries of The Poor Concert and Dinner For the past three years, St. Jude has sent missionaries to serve alongside the Missionaries of the Poor (MOP) as they minister to the destitute in the ghettoes of Kingston, Jamaica.

Confissões: Quarta-feira das 06:00PM as 07:00PM e Domingo das 5:30PM as 6:30PM ou por agendamento. São Judas Tadeu era natural de Caná da Galiléia, na Palestina. Sua família era constituída do pai, Alfeu (ou Cléofas) e a mãe, Maria Cléofas. Eram parentes de Jesus. O pai, Alfeu, era irmão de São José; a mãe, Maria Cléofas, prima irmã de Maria Santíssima. Portanto, Judas Tadeu era primo irmão de Jesus. O irmão de Judas Emeio a tempestades: Ancorados no Senhor! Tadeu, Tiago, chamado o Menor, também foi discípulo de Jesus. A Bíblia trata pouco de Judas Tadeu. Mas aponta o importante: Judas Tadeu foi escolhido por Jesus, para apóstolo (Mt 10,4). É citado explicitamente nas Escrituras pelo evangelista João (Jo 14,22). Na ceia, Judas Tadeu perguntou a Jesus: "Mestre, por que razão hás de manifestar-te só a nós e não ao mundo?" Jesus lhe respondeu afirmando que teriam manifestação dele todos os que guardassem sua palavra e permanecessem fiéis a seu amor.Após ter recebido o dom do Espírito Santo, Judas Tadeu iniciou sua pregação na Galiléia. Passou para a Samaria e Iduméria e outras populações judaicas. Pelo ano 50, tomou parte no primeiro Concílio, o de Jerusalém. Em seguida, foi evangelizar a Mesopotâmia, Síria, Armênia e Pérsia. Neste país recebeu a companhia de outro apóstolo, Simão. A pregação e o testemunho de Judas Tadeu impressionaram os pagãos que se convertiam. Isto provocou a inveja e fúria contra o apóstolo, que foi trucidado, a golpes de cacetes, lanças e machados. Isso, pelo ano 70. A brevíssima Carta de São Judas, que está na Bíblia, é uma severa advertência contra os falsos mestres e um convite a manter a pureza da fé. Nos versículos 22-23 propõe pontos fundamentais de um programa de vida cristã: fé, oração, auxílio mútuo, confiança na misericórdia de Jesus Cristo. A imagem de São Judas tem o livro, que é a Palavra que ele pregou e a machadinha, com a qual foi morto. Os restos mortais, após terem sido guardados no Oriente Médio e na França, foram definitivamente transferidos para Roma, na Basílica de São Pedro.

Chamado e enviado por Jesus, sois uma das doze colunas que sustentam a verdadeira Igreja, fundada por Cristo. Inúmeras pessoas, imitando vosso exemplo e auxiliadas por vossa oração, encontram o caminho para o Pai, abrem o coração aos irmãos e descobrem forças para vencer o pecado e superar todo o mal. Quero imitar-vos, comprometendo- me com Cristo e com sua Igreja, por uma decidida conversão a Deus e ao próximo, especialmente o mais pobre. E, assim convertido, assumirei a missão de viver e anunciar o Evangelho, como membro ativo de minha comunidade. Espero, então, alcançar de Deus a graça que implore confiando na vossa poderosa intercessão. (Faça o pedido da graça a ser alcançada…) São Judas Tadeu, rogai por nós! Amém!
