What a fantastic celebration the “Great Mass” was last week! It was one of the most
special celebrations that I have been a part of since coming to St. Jude’s. First and foremost, a
huge “Thank You” to the Rick & Jane DiLoreto family (Dan & Nikki Pierce, Tessa & Pat
Staab, Ryan & Liz Hebner, Jessica DiLoreto, & Richie DiLoreto … and, their 400 kids)! The
DiLoreto gang, which are the “bricks-in-the-wall” of the 9:00 Mass, did so much to coordinate, plan, and
execute! We had over 600 people come together to celebrate our combined anniversary with Our Lady of
Peace. Bishop Persico seemed to really enjoy the unique liturgy, reminding all of us that we just simply
need to work together in all things, rather than have parish competition. I was really enjoying the day, for
my baptismal/present parish joined up with the parish I grew up in! And, as I was scanning the crowd from
the “sanctuary”, I saw so many faces of people I have seen from my earliest days of life. Thanks so much,
also, to Mike McCormick from Erie Beer for a wonderful donation of suds … and the gang at Kold-Draft
for all of the ice. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to St. Jude parishioners, Mark McCain & Rich Hodges of
Avanti’s & Syd’s restaurants, for giving us a huge break on the hotdogs, hamburgers, and the ever-delicious
sausage & peppers! It was, truly, a great Mass, a great dinner, and a great time!
I am so pleased to announce a new member of the St. Jude the Apostle Church Pastoral Team:
MATT COSTA, our new Pastoral Minister, effective Monday, October 19th. I believe that Matt is a lifelong member of St. Jude Parish, or close to it, graduating from McDowell High School. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from Gannon University, and had attended St. Mark Seminary, along with St.
Vincent Seminary in Latrobe. He had been a Head of House Manager for L’Arche of Erie, and a very faithful employee of the Barber National Institute for the past 12 years. He and his lovely wife Kristen (Euliano)
have 3 great kids, all students at Our Lady’s Christian School: Matt, Maria, and Will. (Will, right now,
doesn’t have any front teeth. So, that whistling noise you hear during Mass just may be coming from his
head …) I came to realize a long time ago, that we really need another person on our team, remembering
that Fr. Jason’s full-time assignment is to Cathedral Prep, with some assistance to Penn State-Behrend.
And, also, Deacon Dick Brogdon’s position here was never intended to be full-time. There have been many
times that I felt that I was just “treading water” … just maintaining. And, I have had Matt on my mind for a
long time, for I knew him well when he was in the seminary … and, I remember how sad I was when he
left, for he would’ve been a great priest!!! But, when you look at this great family, you come to realize exactly what God was calling Matt to become. Matt is going to help us with ministries to the sick, help create
and coordinate other ministries, create opportunities for Adult Formation, Bible Studies, and assist with
liturgical preparations. He is a very good, decent, and holy man with a lot of energy and creativity. I am
looking forward to having him with us!
OK … the St. Jude Novena is now set! Fr. Jerry Simmons, former Parochial Vicar when the church
was built, will preach the Opening Mass on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20TH @ 7:00 PM… Fr. Matt Kujawinski will preach Evening Prayer on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22ND, and Fr. Matt Strickenberger will preach
Evening Prayer on MONDAY, OCTOBER 26th – both at 7:00 PM. Finally, Fr. Mike Ferrick will preach the
Closing Mass on the Feast of St. Jude the Apostle, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28th @ 7:00 PM. It should
prove to be a great Novena. I hope as many of us as possible can gather for some time of worship and prayer.
There is only 2 more weeks to the Serafini’s Spaghetti Dinner. And, as everyone knows and is waiting for, we will be raffling off our 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 convertible … keeping in mind that the winner could take $40,000 in cash, rather than the car. The last two winners were parishioners of St. Jude’s!
Let’s get the word out … send the Corvette website (WINAVETTE.COM) to everyone in your email address book! Only two weeks to go!
The colors are starting to become glorious right now! Take time to go outside somewhere and enjoy
them. Have a great week!

POVERTY SIMULATION:
Erie Together is hosting a
poverty simulation to help individuals better understand what it might be like to live in a
typical low-income family trying to survive from
month to month. It is a simulation, not a game. The
object is to sensitize participants to the realities faced
by low-income individuals.
The simulation is followed by a debrief to
allow participants to share feelings and talk about the
experience.
It is truly eye-opening.
The event will be
held on Friday, October
16th from 9:30am—12:00
noon at the Sts. Peter and Paul Social Hall
(511 E. 34th Street).
Register at bit.ly/octpovertysim.
