 Mission Statement. Saint Jude the Apostle Catholic Parish is a welcoming loving Parish of Faith. Our community grows through personal invitation. We accept all people as the children of God through our openness and our willingness to listen. Our Liturgy and Ministries sustain us. They provide a setting for a continual reaching out to God both as individuals and as a community. Through the practice and communication of our Catholic moral stance, rituals and traditions in faith, truth and love, we touch not only our Parish but also our communities at large. Our Ministries provide ongoing spiritual, moral, theological and scriptural guidance for our Parish Community as a whole. We support all those involved in our Parish Ministries, we acknowledge their talents and appreciate the gifts they share. This is the Father's Will, accomplished through his Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
St. Jude, pray for us!
The statue of St. Jude in our sanctuary was given to us by my dear friend, Rev. Jacek Mazur, the pastor of the newly formed (from five parishes) "Divine Mercy Church" in Niagara Falls,New York. The statue stood proudly in the former St. Stanislaus Church for many year before making its pilgrimage south to us in North Tonawanda. St. Jude Thaddeus was not only an apostle, an "eye witness," and close follower of Jesus Christ, but he is thought to be a relative of Jesus himself! Some believers say this is why he commonly is depicted holding an image of the face of Christ. You will note that this particular statue does not depict the saint as he often is with a Penetecostal "flame of the Holy Spirit" over his head! He does, however have the club in his hand which is thought to be the instrument of his torture and martyrdom. He also is depicted with an ax since it is thought that he was beheaded afterward. We will be having more information about our new patron saint in future bulletins! In the meantime, we welcome St. Jude and ask for his prayers for us. | | |
