Important Event Details:
Plan to Arrive on Time:
Parking in the school/ church parking lot will not be available until 4:00pm when we begin the line up for veneration that starts at 5:00pm. Signage and pathways will be clearly marked, beginning near the school through the portico area to the Church entrance. Only one door will be used to enter the Church.
The Church will not open until 5:00PM. Restroom facilities will be available once the Church is opened at 5PM.
Handicapped Attendees:
The handicapped attendees will have a separate entrance to enter the Church via a direct portico area through a side door of the Church facing the parking lot. Signs will be displayed to direct those in need to the Handicap Entrance.
Devotional Items For Sale:
Upon entering the church, you will have the opportunity to quickly purchase devotional items from the event which fund the St. Jude shrine and tours. While inline to proceed to the veneration of the relic you have a few minutes to purchase rosaries, scapulars, medals, and a video on the relics. Please have your credit card or cash ready and available to make your purchases in a timely manner as the line for veneration will need to continue to move along to accommodate everyone who attends. Following Mass is an additional opportunity to purchase devotional items.
Veneration and/or Mass
For those attendees that plan to venerate and leave, you will exit the Church on the Oakview side of the Church and follow signage to return to the parking lot to your car.
For those attendees who plan to venerate and stay for Mass at 7:00pm, please venerate and choose to be seated on the left or right hand-side of the church in a pew. Once you are in your pew, we ask that you remain seated until Mass begins and do not enter the center aisle area where the veneration procession will continue until time for Mass. You will not be able to cross from one side of the Church to the other until after Mass begins due to the line of people in the center of church that will be processing to venerate the relic.
