The whole of Mother Teresa's life and labor of love bore witness to the joy of loving, the greatness and dignity of every human person, the value of little things done faithfully and with love, and the surpassing worth of friendship with God.
On March 5, 1992, Mother Teresa opened a contemplative house of prayer adjacent to the St. Jude Shrine of the West.
On June 9, 1996, Mother Teresa attended Sunday Mass at St. Jude Shrine of the West. This was a significant event in the life of our parish community. A granite stone was placed in honor of her visit to the outdoor monument of Saint Jude.
On September 4, 2016, Pope Francis canonized Mother Teresa. That same day there was a Mass celebrated by Most Rev. Robert W. McElroy to place a relic of St. Teresa of Calcutta in St. Jude Shrine of the West. A statue was also placed alongside the relic on the west entrance doorway. St. Teresa used this doorway to attend Mass 20 years earlier.
On December 12, 2016 construction of the new Chapel and facilities was completed. Most Rev. Robert H. Brom blessed the new buildings.
We are grateful and blessed to have the Missionaries of Charity in the parish community to carry on the work of Mother Teresa. The Missionaries of Charity are active participants in the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at St. Jude Shrine of the West during the week.
They welcome visitors to their chapel for prayer and adoration as well.
