St. Jude had an AWESOME turn out in Ann Arbor this year!
There are tons of GREAT photos. Thanks to all that attended the beautiful vows.
Last week around 150 St. Jude Parishioners (many pictured above at the Motherhouse),
joined by priests and seminarians from our diocese, traveled by car/van and bus to join the
Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist for final vows on Wednesday, July 25.
Seven women, including Sr. Maria Canisius, who was at St. Jude for four years, professed
vows of "chastity, poverty, and obedience...all the days of (my) life." It was a wonderful
opportunity for our parish to show our support for the community that serves our parish
school and Peoria Notre Dame, as well as our support of consecrated religious life. If you
were unable to attend this year, please consider joining us next year.

Around 3,000 teens were present at our conference, which included powerful worship music, talks, mass, adoration and confession.
