St. Jude School heralds the Good News of Jesus…and in doing so carries out the evangelical mission of St. Jude Parish and of the Universal Church.  Within the environment of faith and prayer, students hear God’s call….they have the opportunity to respond, to spread the good news to others and to transform the world through love, service and justice.

God calls each person to be his or her best self.  We are our best selves when we have knowledge, a love of learning, a sense of self worth and the dignity of each person, social skills and physical and spiritual health.  St. Jude School cultivates the whole child…we aim to develop and evaluate skills each student can use to adapt to the ever-changing world.  

We accomplish this mission through the shared commitment of many people.  Parents are the “primary educators and the first school in which the children learn to live in society and in the Church”…They are encouraged to participate fully in the life of the school.  In their ministry, teachers try to weave God’s call into the entire curriculum and to continually improve the education of the students.  The administration guides the entire process of education by motivating teachers to challenge themselves, individually and as a team, by supporting families in the loving formation of their children and by overseeing their development…Students themselves are challenged to accept all the help offered and make good choices for their own growth.  We entrust all our work and our lives to the guidance of God’s Holy Spirit, and allow ourselves to be transformed by the Holy Spirit to create a better world.
