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.

St. Jude attends the Steubenville Youth Conference
This summer, over 50,000 Catholic teens across North America are participating in 25 Steubenville Youth Conferences across the United States and Canada. Our parish was represented with a group of 24 youth and 7 chaperones, lead by Fr. O’Brien who all attended the St. Louis Mid-America conference at Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri from June 20-22nd. Around 3,000 teens were present at our conference, which included powerful worship music, talks, mass, adoration and confession. Steubenville was an amazing experience; very powerful bonds were formed between our teens and Christ as well as with each other.
