Father Gerlach Welcome Letter

Welcome!

During this year of celebration for Saints Simon and Jude Parish 60^th Anniversary I welcome you. 

For sixty years our parish has been committed to a Christian community that encourages all to be one in Jesus Christ, in our Church's teaching and in the variety of gifts, services and ministries that we employ to help to build up the Kingdom of God.

We welcome you to become part of our parish life that encourages all our members to: Support all that makes our worship more life giving, joyful and participative; and to becoming more actively involved in the Sacraments of the Church. To become a community of Christians called together to love one another, share with one another and pray with one another in the spirit of the Lord. To teach the saving message of Jesus Christ in our homes, our school and in our community so that all may come to a deeper understanding, conversion and personal witness to Christ. Proclaim the good news of Christ in word and deed by living and sharing our faith. To assist one another and minister willingly, compassionately and generously to the poor and to those in need.

We are a parish of giving individuals participating and volunteering in over 50 ministries.  We welcome you with open arms as we serve one another and the community in our efforts to proclaim the good news of Christ in both word and deed.

Please go to our website www.simonandjude.org and learn more about our parish.  Stop by the Rectory and introduce yourself.  I will be happy to meet you.

Welcome and may God Bless you and your family.

Fr. Michael J. Gerlach
