Local Food Certificates - These $10 certificates are available from Robin's Nest Family Restaurant. All certificates are bought at face value and provide a donation to St. Jude’s through our ordering process. With just a little planning we can all add to St. Jude’s general fund with purchases we would be making anyway.

Tabs for Tots and Pennies from Heaven – A program started by Rich Pasek to make sure no child ever goes without a present at Christmas. On the back table are two baskets, one for your spare pennies and the second one for the tabs off your aluminum cans. From the proceeds of recycling, the aluminum and the pennies are used to buy gifts for children in our community.
Giving Tree – Parishioners donate gifts to local children, nursing homes and group homes in need during the Christmas holiday. Our local Knights of Columbus join us with this project with donation of food baskets along with gifts.
Pop Bottles for Casa Amparo – This program started a few years ago with one of our religious education classes adopting a girl from
Casa Amparo, Mexico now the church sponsors her and other girls by collecting pop bottles. Place bottles in utility room.
