TIJOACHAN’S MESSAGE:

Dear St Jude family,

Praise Jesus and His Most Holy Mother! I hope and pray that all of you stay well

and remain in the Grace of God. There are a few things I’d like to share with you

this month:

1. Try selling all the raffle tickets you have received. We need to try our level best. I am confident

that with the powerful intercession of Saint Jude we will together sell all the 3000 raffle tickets.

2. We have more than 100 hundred families in our parish and over 125 children enrolled for CCD.

I encourage you not to miss a single day of CCD. Also, make it a habit to come to Saint Jude

every Sunday for Mass. Our Kerala chief minister Ommen Chandy is such a beautiful example

of his love for his parish church. It is a fact that wherever he is, he makes it a point to travel

back to his own parish for Sunday Mass. Such love and belonging to a parish is what we need

to grow. It is not enough that we go to any church for Mass, but we must come as one at our

Parish church. Saint Luke in the Acts of the Apostle (4: 32) says “they had one heart and one

soul”. So I request you all to please consider attending Mass at St. Jude every Sunday.

3. Lastly we need to make Saint Jude, a place where everyone sees the goodness of others. I

have seen people, who are able to stay away from all the evil, but they still fall for gossiping

and talking ill of others. Pope Francis exhorted us to stay away from this evil, even when we

think what we say or hear is true, because he says gossip is a dark joy. Sirach 19:10 says “If

you have heard a word against your neighbor, let it die with you”. Let us stop inquiring into the

life of others merely because of curiosity; this would only lead to discord and disunity among

us. The book of Proverbs 6:16 reminds us that there are six things God hates and another

thing which is an abomination to him which is a man who sows discord among brothers.

Let us all seek the gift of the Holy Spirit so that we may not knowingly or unknowingly become slaves of this dark joy but learn to encourage each other by seeing only good in everyone.

Once again, I encourage you all to be at Saint Jude every Sunday without exception. Let us ask the grace of God to make Saint Jude a Kingdom of God. May Good Lord bless you and hear your pray-ers.

Sincerely yours in Christ our King

Tijoachan

COMMUNITY UPDATES ROSARY MONTH

St. Jude community most joyfully celebrated October as the month

of the Most Holy Rosary. This year St Jude family dedicated the ro-

sary month to our Most Blessed Mother and her son our savior Je-

sus Christ by spending time in adoration at the St. Jude Rectory on

October 1, 2013. The Holy Hour started at 6:00 am and continued

with prayers, songs and rosary until 6:00 pm. Around 35 members

from our parish consisting of both adults, youth and kids joined in at

different interval for the Holy Hour in honor of our Blessed Mother

and her son our beloved friend Jesus. During the Holy Hour mem-

bers gathered before the Holy Eucharist prayed specially for peace

in every family in our parish and for the spiritual growth of our com-

munity. We would like to thank Shyla Joseph and Neena Mathew for

coordinating the Holy Hour beautifully.

Our kids from the kids ministry beautifully concluded our devotion to

our Blessed Mother by praying the rosary everyday at 9pm during the

last week of the Rosary month. This was coordinated by the members

of the kids ministry team through a conference call. On the very last

day i.e October 31st, the kids finally concluded the Rosary month cel-

ebrations by inviting everyone to join them for Rosary and Adoration

at 7pm at Corpus Christi Church. Kids

came in despite Halloween night to

spend time with our Blessed Mother

and before the Blessed Sacrament as a

sign of their love for the Lord. At the end

of the celebrations, Tijoachan also handed candies to our little kids to applaud

them for their love and devotion to our Lord. We thank the kids ministry team

for their unconditional love and dedication to instill the love of Jesus in the

hearts of these little kids.

We celebrated the feast of our patron saint this year on October 27, 2013 at St.

Andrew’s Lutheran Church. We began preparing for the feast day by reciting

the novena and venerating the relic of our patron saint for nine Tuesdays im-

mediately preceding the feast day. Our celebrations began on October 20,

2013 with Fr. Chathanatt hoisting the feast flag and the presudenti vazcha.

On the feast day, our

celebration began

with Ladeenju and

the Presudenti pre-

senting their offering

to church and samar-

panam of all our fam-

ily units by Tijo

Achan. This was fol-

lowed by the Holy Qurbana, which was most gra-

ciously celebrated by V. Rev. Msgr. Antony Thundathil

the Vicar General of St. Thomas Diocese of Chicago

along with Rev. Fr. Rijo Johnson, SDV and our misson

director Rev. Fr. Tijo Mullakara. Fr. Antony delivered a

beautiful sermon inspiring each one of us to grow in faith

and to trust in our Lord completely. Our kids who re-

ceived the First Holy Communion, earlier this year recit-

ed the Karosusa (prayer of the faithful) prayer in

Malayalam and English.

After the Qurbana, The celebrations was followed

by the Novena to St. Jude led by Fr. Rijo and Pra-

dakshinam accompanied by the Chendamelam

team from Baltimore. Beautiful church decoration by

WINGS, melodious songs by the Choir and meticu-

lous coordination by the liturgy team all added the

beauty of the day. (continued on page 5…)

ST JUDE FEAST (PERUNNAL) CELEBRATIONS


Our celebrations continued with a very special movie

premier titled “Our Dream Church” starring our own

very St. Jude kids. Through this short movie the kids

dream church. It was so great to see and understand

the beautiful dreams our kids hold. We thank Sherly

Dilip and Shaju Joseph for compiling this wonderful

documentary. Following the movie premier, Rev Fr. An-

tony inaugurated the St. Jude Library and encouraged

both parents and kids to enrich their life with the Catho-

lic resources in the library by sharing his own account

ST JUDE ANNUAL SOCCER TOURNAMENT

The 2nd Annual Soccer Tournament—St. Jude Sevens/Elevens was held this year on October 19, 2013

at Bryne Rigde park, Aldie with great enthusiasm. This annual soccer tournament is a intra parish tour-

nament held by our St. Jude Family units since last year and serves as a great platform not only to show

off some superior soccer skills but as a great time for community bonding. Members from the community

and our soccer players made the utmost use of the final days of summer by gathering at the soccer field

to witness the much awaited game for the year.

This highly contested event was a chance for the family units to show off their soccer skills and

community spirit, all with enough “dramatics” in pure “Malayalee” style. This year, the championship was

between the “Kidilan Saints” representing Ashburn/Leesburg/South Riding/Aldie and the “Avial Heoros”

representing Herndon/Gainseville/Centerville/Fairfax/ Alexandria and Woodbridge family units.

During this elevens game, “Avial Heroes” fought hard, but the “Kidilan Saints” prevailed in the

end, winning the match by a goal. The final score was Kidilan Saints (5) to Avial Heroes (4). After this

hard fought match, “Kidilan Saints” celebrated in style and took home the coveted trophy. The game

showcased many inspiring moments, enough to keep the supporters on their feet. Overall despite the

chill in the air, everyone enjoyed the very exciting match along with some delicious treats by women’s

wing and cheering by kids. Hearty congratulations to our champions—KIDILAN SAINTS. A special thanks

to the organizing committee for organizing the annual tournament. Special thanks to Rajesh joy for cap-

turing the game spirit in the pictures below.


St. Anthony od Padua is a well-known and loved saint in India and especially among Kerala

Catholics. We have a special love and devotion for this saint which is manifested in the many

churches and schools built all across Kerala under his patronage. Saint Anthony is known as the

patron saint for lost articles.

St Anthony was born in Lisbon, Portugal in the twelfth century to a well-to-do family. Against his

family’s wishes for him to do scholarly studies, at the age of 15, young Anthony joined the reli-

gious order of St. Augustine.

After ordination into priesthood, Anthony was living a life of prayer and quite as a friar when God

chose him to do greater things. Once Anthony was selected to give a speech to his fellow Friars.

Anthony filled with Holy Spirit gave a speech which created a great impression on his friends

and superiors. By seeing his potential, his superiors ordered Anthony to preach Gospel in North-

ern Italy. Here in Italy, St Francis Assissi, founder of the order came to know about St. Anthony,

his holiness and zeal for the Lord. From then on Anthony’s preaching skills were used for the

utmost use of the church. He was also a teacher for the young priests in the church. By the year

1231 He went to stay in a little town called Padua and preach there. Then onwards he was

known as Antony of Padua.

Anthony was a simple and humble friar who preached the Good News lovingly and with fearless

courage. His sermons was so popular that sometimes upto 30,000 people gathered to hear him

speak. Anthony spent so much energy on preaching word of God and teaching he became ex-

hausted and ill. He died from his illness at the young age of 36. He was a Franciscan friar for

about 10 years then.

The following year, Pope Gregory IX moved by the many miracles that occurred at St. Antho-

ny’s tomb, declared him a Saint. St. Anthony’s canonization was one of the fastest one in the

history of the church.

In 1946 Pope Pius XII officially declared St. Anthony a Doctor of the Universal Church.

St. Jude, Our Patron Saint, Pray for Us.

“Arise ,cry out in the night, as

the watches of the night begin;

lift up your hands to him for the

lives of your children”( Lam

2:19)

Every Christian vigil derives it’s

meaning from the Christ’s tri-

umph over death, sin and evil.

By keeping nightly vigil until

dawn, we enter in to the paschal dynamic of

passing with Christ from darkness to light. Night

vigil will enhance the power of our prayers and

also strengthen our relationship with God. Night

vigil will help us tackle the challenges that toss

us like giant sea waves, break the bonds of Sa-

tan and become free from other magical powers

of evil spirits in our life.

Please join us for night vigil on 3rd Friday. The

vigil begins with mass in Corpus Christi Church

at 7:30 pm on all third Fridays. The mass will be

followed with Adoration of the Blessed Sacra-

ment and ends at 5:00 am with Holy Mass.
