This year, St. Jude Parish will adopt families from San Juan Diego Mission in Meadow Lakes, families from San Diego Mission at Jemez Pueblo, Acoma Pueblo and children from Catholic Charities.

How does the family adoption work?

The weekend of November 22nd & 23rd we will pass out forms after all masses with information on the needs of the adopted families. 

Then St. Jude parishioner families shop for their adopted family. Items may be unwrapped, wrapped or put in gift bags with the family member’s age and family number clearly marked. Then everything is dropped off at the St. Jude’s Parish Office by Monday, December 15th. Parish volunteers and the Feed the Hungry Ministry will deliver everything to the families.

St. Jude Parish Organizations are also encouraged to adopt a family.

If your family would like to adopt a family, please call the St. Jude’s office at (505) 898-0826 or pick up a form after masses on November 22nd or 23rd.

Thanksgiving Day Masses on Thursday, Nov. 27th will be at 9am and 11am. All are invited to join us in the Parish Hall after both Masses for a Thanksgiving meal.  

After 6:00 PM Mass in the Church. 

For all of our St. Jude Deacons, Choirs, Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, and Ushers in the Parish Hall after the 6pm Mass! Let's celebrate!
