Welcome from the clergy

May 6 - Seventh Sunday of Easter

This altar piece is called a triptych.  It depicts three main events which can be viewed when the panels are opened (usually on special feast days).  It is from the later period of Italian artist Fra Angelico (approximately 1450). The central portion portrays the Last Judgement, the left panel is Pentecost and the right panel depicts the Ascension of Jesus (celebrated last Thursday).

Sunday School Update

Kids are always welcome at St Jude’s!  Our Sunday School is offered twice a month, on the second and fourth Sundays with activities and faith formation.  We start off in church and then go to class after the Kid’s Time at the beginning of the service.

For those who wish to remain in Church; closer to their parents, we have set up a child-friendly area beside the baptismal font for children with colouring and other activities to do during the service and still be in Church.

If you have an interest in helping with Sunday School please contact  at 416-755-5872.

Altar Guild Occasional Helpers

We need some people we can call on to help on an occasional basis for 30 minutes after the 10:30am Sunday service in the sacristy if our clean-up team is short of people.  With summer holidays and winter snow-birds, we sometimes find ourselves short of helpers.  If you could spare some time or would like more information, please contact Betty Lamb.  Thank you!

The Food Bank Needs Your Help 

The Food Bank at St Jude’s is open on Wednesday mornings from 10:00am – Noon.  We serve an average of 35-40 families each week; many of whom are single parents with multiple children.

Our weekly volunteers, local churches and other generous donors help us meet the growing demands of those who are not able to make ends meet.  Thanks to all those who bring their time and energy to this program.

If you would like to volunteer in any way, please contact Janet Timbrell through the Parish Office 416-755-5872.

Some items that are always in need for the Food Bank include:

·         Spaghetti (no other pasta please), spaghetti sauce

·         Kraft dinner

·         CANNED:  meat, fish, stew, fruit

·         Peanut butter, soda crackers and sugar

·         Empty ketchup bottles or small glass bottles

We also accept monetary donations.  Please indicate on the envelope ‘Food Bank’, and if you would like a tax receipt we will need your address and contact information. 

Thank you for any level of generosity.
