Evening Prayer with the Conferral of the Saint Jude the Apostle Medals

Sunday, October 29, 2023, 3:00 p.m.

Every year, the St. Jude the Apostle Medal is presented by our Bishop to a lay member from each of our parishes for distinguished and outstanding service. Whether it’s advocating for the life of the unborn, serving as an usher at Mass, or leading a parish ministry, these men and women share the love of Christ in many visible ways. Whatever humble offerings they provide, they exemplify gratefulness to God’s blessings in their service to His people. The prayer service will be livestreamed at dosp.org/livestream, Facebook.com/DioStPete and YouTube.com/DioceseofStPete.
