Dear St. Jude Parishioners, During Holy Week we celebrate the liturgical realization of Paschal mystery of Jesus Christ, “for I handed on to you as of importance what I also received; that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day. If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty too our faith. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1Cor 15:3-4,13- 14,20)
