We Need Your Help!
Embracing Our Past, Connecting Our Future
The 2023 St. Jude's Capital Campaign 'Embracing Our Past, Connecting Our Future' will provide the funding necessary to create a much-needed space for the parish by preserving the historic St. James Hall and connecting it to the current church. This connection expands the available public meeting spaces and updates the historic building to provide a beautiful facility that will include a full kitchen with commercial cooking capabilities, a rentable event and gathering space that seats up to 416 people, expands and updates public restrooms to be ADA compliant, and creates multiple new meeting areas for ministries to utilize.
