All are Welcome! We welcome Catholic individuals, couples, and families to join our vibrant catholic community. 

Wow! The future of Ss. Simon & Jude parish looks more incredible everyday. Change is a part of life and change can be exciting. I’m excited to add my voice to the launch of our new website. With this new change we will be able to do new and improved features that were not previously available. I hope to become more active in adding my own words to the site.

We’re so glad you’ve decided to join us. If you haven’t already, make sure to introduce yourself the next time you’re at Mass. Deacon Joe Knapke and I are eager to welcome you personally to our church.

Doors are usually open early before Mass starts, Ushers are on hand to greet you and answer any questions you might have. We have various ministries available in the parish so please don’t hesitate to ask any of our volunteers about ways to get connected.

Here at St. Simon and Jude we want to love God, to love one another, and to make the name of Jesus known.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Fr. Dwayne McNew
