Ministries & Parish Life

God has given each of us gifts to share, and there are many ways to grow in faith, build relationships, serve others, and participate in the life of our parish communities.

Whether you are new to St. Jude the Apostle or St. Michael the Archangel, have been part of the parish for many years, or are simply exploring, you are invited to find a place to begin. You don't need to know exactly where you belong or make a big commitment. Come pray with us, learn something new, meet other people, serve a neighbor, or discover a way to share your gifts.

There is a place for you here.

Build friendships. Find community. Belong.

Faith is meant to be lived together. Discover social groups, parish organizations, activities, and opportunities to meet others and become more connected to our parish communities.

Pastoral Care

You Don't Have to Walk Through Difficult Times Alone

Our parish communities are called to care for one another in every season of life—especially during times of illness, grief, loss, or difficulty.

The Pastoral Care ministries of St. Jude the Apostle and St. Michael the Archangel offer prayer, presence, practical support, and compassionate accompaniment to individuals and families who are facing challenging circumstances.

Whether you are grieving the death of someone you love, living with illness, caring for someone who is sick, unable to attend Mass, or simply in need of the prayers and support of your parish community, we want you to know that your Church is here for you.

Service & Outreach

Put your faith into action.

Jesus calls us to love and serve our neighbors, especially those who are poor, vulnerable, or in need. Discover ways to participate in works of charity and service in our parishes and wider community.

Faith Formation, Prayer & Sacramental Preparation

Grow in faith. Ask questions. Take the next step.

Our journey of faith doesn't end at Confirmation. Explore Scripture, deepen your prayer life, learn more about the Catholic faith, prepare for the sacraments, or discover what it means to become Catholic.

Prayer & Worship

Pray together. Encounter Christ. Serve at the liturgy.

Prayer and worship are at the heart of our life as Catholics. Explore opportunities to deepen your prayer, participate more fully in the liturgical life of the Church, and serve our parish communities at Mass and other celebrations.

Whether you feel called to proclaim Scripture, serve at the altar, share your musical gifts, welcome others, or simply discover new ways to pray, there is a place to begin.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

That's okay. You don't need to know the name of a ministry or understand how everything works before getting involved.

Tell us a little about what interests you, what gifts you'd like to share, or what you're looking for, and we'll help you find a place to begin.
