St. Jude Catholic Church

UNDERGROUND CHRISTMAS at St Jude Church on Sat., Dec 18 from 6:30 – 11pm. All youth grades 5-8 are welcome to participate in this popular, fun-filled, night that fosters a greater compassion for disciples of Jesus facing persecution and appreciation for the freedom to worship. The event concludes with Mass in an ‘underground’ fashion. Parents/family are welcome to attend Mass at 9:30pm. Going underground, small groups of believers studied scripture, sang hymns, and received sacraments. This still happens today. There are hundreds of unofficial “home churches” in countries like China, Pakistan, and Iraq. Attendees run the constant risk of harassment, detention, or even death by authorities. Underground Christmas, attempts to bring these difficulties into focus by re-enacting these conditions around the St. Jude Campus. $25 cost includes t-shirt & fundraising event. Registration closes Dec. 5. (Late registrations accepted but may not receive a t-shirt.)
HIGH SCHOOL TEENS are also invited, to participate as helpers! Cost for high school helpers is only $8!
