The death of a loved one is always painful, even though we have our Catholic Faith as a source of great hope. 

You are not alone. We at St. Jude Church are committed to helping you navigate this difficult time. Usually the first step is to contact the funeral director, who will then provide us with the necessary information and assist with funeral arrangements.

After we have heard from the funeral director, the priest who will offer the Funeral Mass will reach out to you and schedule a meeting. At that time, he will help you choose the readings and musical selections that would most honor your loved one.

We wish to help you through this difficult time and provide the support and comfort you need through the St. Jude community. If you need a referral for a funeral director, or if you have any other questions, please contact the Parish Office at 215-822-0179.

Bereavement Support

St. Jude has joined with Mary Mother of the Redeemer parish and St. Stanislaus parish to offer a Bereavement Support program for all those suffering from the loss of a loved-one. 

Once a month a speaker will give a presentation on a different theme that is important for the grieving and healing process.
