Wednesday, February 26, is Ash Wednesday. Mass with the distribution of Ashes will be celebrated at Saint Jude Church at 9am and 7pm. Join us for these Masses for the beginning of the Season of Lent.

Cardinal Seán will celebrate the 4pm Mass on Saturday, March 7 as we prepare for the start of the Annual Catholic Appeal. There will be a small reception with light refreshments immediately following the Mass for anyone who would like to meet with the Cardinal. 

Saint Jude Parish and Watertown Public Schools have come to an agreement on leasing the school building Monday through Friday. Starting in the 2020-21 academic year, students from the Cunniff School will be studying at Saint Jude until their new building can be completed. The parish will continue to use the building on the weekends, including for the Religious Education program which will continue in the building on Sundays. 

This is part of our response to the unfortunate closing of Saint Jude School last summer. While it is sad that Saint Jude School is not continuing as an institution, it is good that the building continues to serve as a place where students are able to learn and grow. This agreement should be very beneficial to both the parish and the Cunniff School families and we look forward to cooperating together as some necessary adjustments are made to the building  and we figure out the ways to make everything work smoothly.

With great sadness we have to announce that Saint Jude School will not reopen for the 2019-20 academic year. Despite the hard work of Jane O'Connor, the school board, and many others, we were not able to secure financing to make up for the low enrollment. Please pray for the students, teachers, and families affected by this sad event.

A farewell Mass to thank and celebrate the teachers, staff, alumni, and families of Saint Jude School was celebrated on Saturday, September 7, 2019 to say good bye to the recently closed Saint Jude School. We recognized all the many gifts that were brought to our community by the administrators, staff, teachers, and students that have come through its doors for over 50 years. At the end of the Mass the students came forward to receive a Saint Jude medal and to offer a prayer of blessing to the parish community.
