ST. JUDE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY    PAGE NINE   MAY 14, 2000

If you are new to our parish community, please come by our Pastoral Parish Office to meet the staff and priests and to register.     If time is of the essence, then grab a registration form from the back of the church, fill it out and turn it in.      Soon after registering, our Newcomers Hospitality will visit your home and share with you about our many parish activities, and then you can leave your imprint on who we are. 

If you are interested in welcoming newcomers to our parish family, please contact Denise Ferrone at 818 - 597 - 9177 or Dana Miller at 805 - 496 - 1256.

St. Jude the Apostle Parish School is once again participating in the Oaks Mall "Tools 4 Schools" program.    This unique program provides educational materials to school children. All that you need to do to help our Parish School Children, is to save the receipts of all of your purchases that you make at the Oaks Mall from now through this December 31, 2000.   Take a minute to stop at the Center Court and have them credit those receipts to our Parish School.

Except for that extra minute, it cost you nothing and you help our Parish School.   If you have any questions, please contact Kim Cummings at 805 - 496 - 2424.     

"Scrip Certificates" are sold at the Parish School Office during Regular School Hours.   Credit cards are accepted.   You can obtain a complete listing of all "Scrip Certificates" available by calling Sharon at 818 - 707 - 2447.   

We are still collecting Campbell's soup labels, and General Mills boxtops.   At the end of this school year, we can turn these in for free equipment and/or cash.   Please continue to clip and save these labels and boxtops, and bring them to the box at the front doors of the church or to the Parish School Office.    Thanks!
