St. Jude's Catholic Church in Eugene, OR welcomes people of all ages and stages:
young adults, families, seniors, and visitors alike.
Nestled on a hilltop in South Eugene, with a sanctuary enclosed on three sides by full-length glass panels, we look out at our beautiful rock garden and our 10’ tall Risen Christ, with Spencer Butte in the background. Our Masses are blessed by the view of God's world and are often visited by His creatures - deer, birds, wild turkeys - outside our windows!
We invite you to join us for Mass | Make sure you bookmark our new website https://www.stjudeeugene.org/
"We, the people of St. Jude Parish, are a faith community who choose to come together to experience God’s love in the Roman Catholic tradition. Our fundamental mission, as a sacramental people, is to live the gospel in a way that makes us known for our love. As a diverse and inclusive Church family, we seek to provide opportunities for the growth of the whole person at all age levels and social strata. We strive to celebrate the gifts of each person, and together serve one another and our world. We invite all persons to share in our prayer, liturgical celebrations, education opportunities, social justice efforts, social activities, and Parish support. We ask God to lead us in our journey as we seek to faithfully respond to the Good News of Jesus Christ."

ALTAR SOCIETY
St. Martha is the patron saint of cooking and hospitality, and I am praying she will send me some volunteers! The Joyful Jubilee needs help preparing the food for the night of the event. Can you help? Much of the food will be prepared ahead of time. Servers will also be needed. St. Teresa of Avila said, ‘Be the hands and feet of Christ!’ Please sign up to help. The sheet is at the back of the church.
Joyful Jubilee is also looking for two people with an OLCC card to serve as bartenders. Thank you for your sponsorships, donations, and ticket purchases in support of the stewardship of our St. Jude Parish. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for Joyful Jubilee, more information can be found at our Auction website, which can be accessed with our QR code or by clicking the button below. Raffle and entry tickets can also be found at the same link, or with cash or check after all the weekend Masses.
Please consider stopping by the Jubilee Tree and taking a tag or two, or feel free to get creative! Donations must be turned in by September 7th for processing. |
