OngoingGreetings to Us from Africa!
Greetings from Tabora! Time flies very fast and it is already Christmas. Hope you are doing well surrounded by the blessings of the new-born Jesus. I am writing these Christmas greetings with a heart full of joy and gratitude. The goat and chicken projects are progressing very well. We have already 250 goats and 1700 chickens. I have very good memories of Christmas celebration at St. Jude, my second home. I send special greetings this Christmas to the St. Jude staff and parishioners. We really appreciate your support and that the goat/chicken projects are progressing well. Thank you very much one again - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2018! God Bless you all, Fr. Juvenalis Hi Friends, and all at St. Jude the Apostle Parish! Allow me to use the words of Pope Francis to the Roman Curia: "As we enter into another new happy season/moment of exchanging greetings and wishing best wishes, I wish you a holy and joyful Christmas and a happy New Year." (Pope Francis to the Roman Curia, December 21, 2017) Greetings from Njombe, Tanzania. As it snows in Wisconsin, so it rains here, a typical normal sign of Christmas here in Njombe. I wish you all prosperous and warm days as you enjoy this blessed season. My best wishes to you all. My regards to you all, Fr. Atanas Mgimba St Jude Parish Choir The St Jude Parish Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings at 7pm in the choir loft. New members are vigorously welcomed!

Thank you for your help! Weekday Mass Intentions Once again we are in need of Mass intentions. Please note that Mass intentions are not only offered for the deceased but can be offered for the living as well. How about having a Mass celebrated for a family member’s or a friend’s birthday or anniversary? Intentions may also be offered for those who are sick or are recovering from an illness or injury. The stipend for a Mass is $10. If you wish to schedule an intention, please contact the rectory office at 414-258-8821. R.C.I.A.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults Do you know a family member or friend who might be interested in this conversion process? R.C.I.A. is for adults who are interested in being baptized a Catholic Christian, or are already baptized in another Christian denomination and wish to become Catholic, or for adult Catholics who wish to be Confirmed. R.C.I.A. restores the original order of the Sacraments of Initiation, which are Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. It stresses the need for a living experience of the Church and not just knowledge about the Church. It also makes the welcoming of new Christians a public, Church community event and stresses that conversion is begun by the Holy Spirit and is an extended process. Would you be willing to sponsor a candidate? If so, please contact Mary Pat Jacoby (cell: 414-303-5153 or office: 414-277-5153). |
