Welcome Weekends are an inspiring opportunity given by fellow St. Jude parishioners.

The weekend are a time to put the "brakes" on life and focus on  a closer relationship with Jesus all through discussions about real life issues, fellowship, time of reflection & prayer and so much more!

Benefits of attending include a renewal and recharging of life. 

There is no charge and all meals/snacks will be provided.  

There is no sleep over.

Saturday is a full day returning on Sunday for a half day.

It may be difficult to set aside time for ourselves, however, there is no greater gift you can give yourself that attending a Welcome Weekend.
