Christmas Giving Tree

Volunteers assist with the placing of the Christmas gift request ornaments for the underprivileged on the Christmas trees in church the week before Thanksgiving. After the gifts are returned to the church, the ministry members gather to help sort the gifts into family bags and help distribute them. This time-sensitive program is done within a few week time period for a commitment of 1-2 days.

Homebound Ministry

These volunteers visit and pray with St. Jude parishioners who have become homebound; they occasionally check on a homebound parishioner’s welfare and safety during extreme weather by telephone.
