Confession/Reconciliation
The Catholic Church offers this powerful tool to forgive us our sins - we should receive this sacrament at least once a year. Confession is availe before all Masses or by appointment - email Fr. Don at frdon@stedwardparish.com
Eucharist/Communion
We receive Communion - the true Body and Blood of Jesus in appearance of Bread and Wine for the first time at the age of reason. We can Receive Communion Daily at Mass, on Sundays or adore the Eucharist on First Fridays or Wednesday at St. Jude. To Register for First Communion click here or call the office.
Funeral or Burial
If you've experienced the loss of a loved one we are here for you. A baptized person should receive a Christian burial - we offer this free of charge. Call the front desk to come begin the process of scheduling a funeral or burial.
Anointing of the Sick
This Sacrament should be received at the onset of any serious illness or at the end of life. Father is available for emergencies 24/7 through the answering service. Call the office number and someone will pickup at all times - if it's an emergency let them know. To schedule an anointing email Yvonne
Marriage (Holy Matrimony)
Please contact the parish office if you wish to get married in our beautiful Church. The Sacrament of marriage is much more powerful than simply getting married civilly since we receive the blessing of God's Sacramental Grace upon our union. Call the front desk or email Yvonne.
Want to become Catholic?
Becoming Catholic is a fruitful process that takes place from October until Easter - led by our wonderful OCIA Team (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) Director Deborah Conner. Call the office to sign up today!
Confirmation
Confirmation is where we receive the same Holy Spirit the Aposles and Mary received at Pentecost. This Sacrament takes place during one's adolescence. We are currently Confirming grades 10 and 11. Next year we will confirm grades 9 and 10. Click here to register.
Holy Orders
Visit the Vocations Page for the Diocese to learn more. To become a Deacon or a Priest - the Church relies on these servants. Those who are ordained are changed forever to their core! If you are feeling a desire to serve as a Deacon contact Deacon Steve or Deacon Roland. If you feel a call to the priesthood contact Fr. Don or the vocations director Fr. Dubroc.
House Blessing
If someone moving into a new home or wanting to experience a greater peace in their home wants a Deacon or Priest to come bless their home, call the front desk to schedule. A reminder that for those experiencing strange phenomenon in their home - a good confession is much more important than a home blessing.
Spiritual Direction and Pastoral Counseling

Our pastor and Deacons are available to those who would like to grow in their faith through Spiritual Direction or are undergoing a personal crisis and simply need a word of encouragment.
