Share our Vision and Support our Mission
We believe that every person is uniquely made and has a God-given gift to share with the world. At St. Jude Academy the first part of our vision is to help students recognize their own gifts and talents, and to take ownership for developing them through joyful, engaged studies. The second part of our vision is beyond the classroom. It is our commitment to discipleship, which means that we provide opportunities for our students to put their faith into action, by sharing their talents with our communities in the form of faith filled service. The final part of our vision is to make this learning environment available to all families regardless of their financial situation. For this vision to be possible we must look to the generosity of our donors, who see that investing in engaged, active disciples builds not only a strong faith community, but a strong society. By supporting our mission through your gift of financial giving, you allow us to continue the joyful work of building up the next generation of youth who are ready to put their gifts into meaningful service for God, themselves,
their family and the world.
Founding Donors
Founding Donors are invited to make a meaningful one time donation of $5,000 or more that will leave a legacy for education rooted in Catholic tradition for generations to come. Consider that St. Jude is the patron saint of impossible cases and was a clear choice for us when considering a saint to intercede on behalf of such a bold mission as building a Catholic based education for teens who come from all spiritual and educational backgrounds. As our end, we hope that we might draw all to be of one flock with one Shepherd by our good example, charity, and education of mind and soul. As a spiritual sister to St. Jude we have included St. Rita as a co-patron saint because she is also known to intercede for the lost and impossible causes and is a special intercessor for women. As a founding donor, your name or intention will be permanently added to our prayer wall featuring the St. Jude and St. Rita icon, and every week our students and staff will offer the novena prayers to St. Jude and St. Rita for you or your intentions in gratitude for your great kindness in supporting our mission.

Holy Family Hearts Donors are invited to sponsor our Holy Family Hearts Icon for the school year. Your generous donation of $2,500 allows us to make an education rooted in Catholic Tradition available for all students today, regardless of their financial circumstances. We chose this Holy Family Hearts devotion because at St. Jude Academy we strive to create a culture in which students become part of their "school family." For a family to function well, each member must contribute their gifts and talents for the well being of all and work to overcome their deficiencies. Students and staff are guided to do their best and treat each other with true charity so that they might see the love of the Holy Family reflected amongst each other in their day to day lives. As members of our spiritual family, you and your intentions will be included in our weekly Litany of the Holy Family.
Our Lady of Champion Donor
Our Lady of Champion Donors are invited to sponsor the Our Lady of Champion Icon for the school year. Your donation of $1,000 helps us to offer programs rooted in Catholic tradition for students regardless of their financial situation. Our Lady's message to Sister Adele was simple, "Teach the children what they should know for salvation." We aspire to continue that ideal by teaching every child the truth and beauty of their Faith, and by being joyful examples of disciples of Jesus Christ. As brothers and sisters in the faith we will include you and your intentions in our weekly Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary also known as the Litany of Loreto.
Divine Mercy Donors are invited to sponsor our Divine Mercy Icon for the school year. We chose this icon to represent donations of any amount up to $500 because there is no amount too small to help us to do the good that we desire through St. Jude Academy. Just as the Lord's tender mercy is available to be poured out in any amount for those who need and desire it, so also we recognize that any donation, no matter its size, is of great value especially when the giver sacrifices in order to bestow it. On Fridays throughout the school year we will recite the Divine Mercy chaplet, keeping in mind you and your intentions in remembrance of your donation.
