Fr. Pious visited St. Jude over Fourth of July weekend to share about the needs and ministries of his home diocese: Quilon in India. If you would like to contribute to their ministry, you still can. Deliver a check, made out to St. Jude, with Fr. Pious' name in the memo line, to the Parish Office. We will pass along all donates to him and his ministry back home in India. 

Our 8:30 am Mass on Monday Mornings have been cancelled for the foreseeable future, as Fr. Tony awaits the result from his application for a Religious Worker's Visa. We hope for a speedy result. We will announce the resumption of Monday Morning Masses at a future date.

CCF Planned Giving "Cheat Sheet"

Stewardship in the Catholic tradition is a way of life rooted in gratitude for God's abundant gifts, calling individuals and communities to responsibly manage and share their time, talent, and treasure for the glory of God and the service of others. It emphasizes a deep spiritual commitment to recognize that everything belongs to God, and as faithful stewards, Catholics are entrusted to use these gifts—whether material, spiritual, or personal—to build up the Church, support the poor, and advance the Kingdom of God. This holistic approach, inspired by Scripture and Church teaching, fosters generosity, accountability, and a joyful response to God's love, encouraging parishes and individuals to live out their faith through active participation and sacrificial giving.

Stewardship of Time

God has gifted us with time. How we spend our time reflects our love and gratitude to our Heavenly Father. Do we use it to cultivate our relationship with Him and our loved ones? Prayer is a primary way to deepen our relationship with God. It strengthens and nourishes the life of a disciple. In this Jubilee Year of Hope, the Church invites us to be pilgrims of hope who renew our faith in the promises of God and live joyfully in anticipation of their fulfillment. Do we trust in God’s plan for us? Do we reflect on the good things He has promised? Through prayer, we open our lives to the voice of God and discover His unending love for us.

Stewardship of Talent 

As pilgrims of hope, we are called to spread the Good News and inspire hope in others, especially those experiencing hardship. Stewardship reminds us that God has given each of us unique talents to be used for His glory and the good of others. Out of gratitude to God, we are invited to share our talents to build His Kingdom. Are you using your gifts to serve the Lord? How is God calling you to serve Him today?

Stewardship of Treasure 

Just as time and talent are gifts from God, so too are material possessions — our treasure. Stewardship invites us to surrender all that we have to God’s plan, including our financial resources. When we trustingly offer our treasure to God, we experience the freedom, joy, and hope that come from relying on Him.

Ways to Give

Stewardship Prayer 

Father in heaven, transform our hearts and reawaken in us the blessed hope that your Son secured for us on the cross.

Jesus, direct our path and help us to steward our time, talent, and treasure so that our lives may be beacons of your redeeming light to the world.

Holy Spirit, help us to recognize the gifts you entrust to us.

Inspire us with generous hearts to cooperate with your grace as we pursue the pilgrim path toward your glorious kingdom.

AMEN

For 65 years, St. Jude has been home for the Catholic faithful on the southside of Indianapolis. With over 1,500 parish families and 450 students, our community thrives through generations of sacrificial giving. Together, we’ve built a foundation of love, faith, and service, and now, we look to the future with renewed purpose. 

After extensive prayer, consultation, and a thorough facilities review, we are launching our Continuing the Mission, Investing in Our Future Capital Campaign. Guided by a facilities master plan developed in 2024, this campaign addresses our most pressing needs and prepares us to grow and thrive for decades to come. Rooted in stewardship, this effort ensures we honor the blessings God has bestowed upon us while strengthening our mission to serve faithfully, sacrificially, and prayerfully. 

We invite you to learn more about this campaign and prayerfully consider how you can participate. Every gift matters, and your generosity will ensure St. Jude continues to be a home of faith, service, and love for future generations.

 2024 Facilities Master Plan

 Dear St Jude Community,

I am very happy today to send you the final report of the 2024 Facilities Master Plan Committee.  This Committee met for several months this spring and summer.  Their names are listed in the report, but they respresent a broad cross section of our community.  During the Committee’s first meeting I asked them to both evaluate the current use of our facilities and to dream for the future.  Their hard work included tours of all our facilities, drawing up a utilization table for our spaces and a list of possibilities for the future.  I am very grateful for their time and talents.  St Jude parishioners consistently demonstrate a love for our shared faith community, as well as a dedication to be the best stewards we can be.  I believe that their work has helped us begin a path to a successful and sustainable future.  I hope you find their report as helpful as I did.

God bless,

 Fr. Peter Marshall
