Overnight Adoration Guardians Needed

Guardians are especially needed weekdays 2:00 am, 3:00 am, and 4:00 am. Come adore our Lord in our chapel.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) – Adult Volunteers Needed

CLOW is held during the Sunday 10:00 am Mass for children ages PK4 – 2nd grade. This ministry is parishioner-led and organized in teams. So, we need parents or other adults to form the teams that will rotate weekends. This is a wonderful way to share your love of our faith with our youngest members.

Sign Up for the Elijah Cup – Pray for Vocations

Take home the Elijah Cup and pray for vocations. Please ask Our Lord for more dedicated holy priests, deacons, and consecrated men and women. May they be inspired by Jesus Christ, supported by our faith community, and respond generously to God’s gift of a vocation. Learn more and sign up here.

As a small private preschool, our resources are limited.

We will make an effort to accommodate a child’s special needs, however, when a child’s special needs interfere with our ability to provide the program described in our parent handbook, we will attempt to assist the family with locating a suitable alternative program for the child.

The Saint Jude the Apostle Preschool is under the supervision of the Archdiocese of Atlanta Office of Catholic Schools.
