Men of JudeCharlie Wulf, 866-6454The Men of Jude is a men's service organization for the parish. The group was formed in 1990. Its motto is "Faith, Family and Friendship". These words appear on the Men of Jude lapel pin in the form of a triangle with a cross in the center. This pin is often worn by members during Mass and at church functions. The purpose of this group is to assist the parish and other parish organizations in any way it can. This is often through physical support (manual labor) to complete projects. The Men of Jude often provide financial assistance to other organizations, from monies earned from monthly barbeque chicken sales, monthly Sunday breakfasts, an annual spaghetti dinner as well as the annual parish "Gold Rush" that the group sponsors. Over the years, this organization has helped buy a fountain for our chapel, assisted in financially helping member of the CYO to attend conventions, etc. The group purchased one of the parish's "outdoor" Stations of the Cross, and has provided assistance to families in the parish. Membership is open to all men of the parish, both married and single. Realizing the importance of family, the members are not asked to sacrifice quality family time to attend group meetings or functions. Meetings: Second Tuesday of every other month from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Dinner is served at these meetings. Dues are $12.00 per year.

Chili Cook-OffRobert Kiker, 898-7741The St. Jude Chili Cook-Off is an annual ministry that occurs each year on the first weekend in March. The event focuses on three main goals: 1. Raise Money. All proceeds directly benefit the Church and families of St. Jude. The previous years' proceeds have been donated to the Family Life Center Building Fund. 2. Promote Community and Fellowship. This event is an excellent time to have fun and fellowship with other members of the St. Jude community as well as parishioners from the many different ministries in the community. It is a wonderful opportunity to invite friends to experience the family of St. Jude. 3. Have a Good Time. The day is all about cooking, laughing, tasting and boasting. At the conclusion of the day, everyone is encouraged to bring their family and sample all of the wonderful, and sometimes interesting concoctions as well as time to enjoy the company of others.
