Mission Statement:
The St. Jude’s Mission is committed to serving people in need of the Diocese of Lexington, KY through a variety of services. We strive to incorporate St. Francis of Assisi’s Peace Prayer in all we do for the people of Appalachia.
It takes so little on our part to make a huge difference in someone else's life.
Thanks for helping!

The Peace
Prayer of Saint Francis
"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is discord, harmony.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sorrow, joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."
