St. Jude the Apostle School
is growing 21^st Century Learners!

The St. Jude the Apostle Technology Committee, along with the approval of our pastor, Fr. Jim, has made great progress on the school’s long-range technology plan. All of this has been made possible by the on-going and amazing fundraising efforts of our St. Jude parents.  We have just  completed leases of laptops with Dell and Lenovo and with the help of a loan from the parish, just purchased 130 new Lenovo laptops.
