Why Now?
For more than 60 years, the campus of Saint Jude the Apostle has been a sacred home where tens of thousands have gathered to worship, learn, and serve. Rooted in faith and built through the generosity and vision of those who came before us, our parish has grown into a vibrant, multi-generational, and multi-cultural community united in Christ.
Today, our beloved campus faces the natural effects of time. With the guidance of our Master Planning Committee, we have created a phased plan to address our most pressing needs and to prepare our campus for the future. Our Renewing Our Spiritual Home campaign marks the beginning of this journey. It is an opportunity to honor our past while building for the future.

Campaign Prayer
Heavenly Father, We come before You with grateful hearts, seeking Your blessing on our parish, Saint Jude the Apostle, and on the invitation to renew our spiritual home.
Lord Jesus, As we work to restore and renew this sacred place where we worship You, we pray that You deepen our unity, ignite our generosity, and strengthen our faith so that we can better serve Your church.
Holy Spirit, Guide us to see beyond buildings and walls to the lives that are nourished, healed, and formed on this campus. Let our prayerful campaign commitments be offered up generously and with gratitude for the blessings You’ve poured upon us.
May our renewed spiritual home continue to bring the light of Christ to all who seek You.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
