Mission Statement:

The mission of the St. Jude PTO is to bring parents and teachers together to provide a learning experience which ensures that all students have the opportunity to achieve their highest potential within a Catholic education.

Letter from the PTO President:

Dear St. Jude Families,

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! As a parent at St. Jude, you're automatically part of our PTO. Our goal is to work together with parents, staff, and clergy to create a positive and faith-filled environment for our children.

We organize many events and activities throughout the year, and we’d love for you to get involved! Your support—whether through volunteering or donations—helps make everything we do possible.

We hold monthly PTO meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Parish Center. If you’d like to learn more or find out how you can contribute, feel free to reach out to me at ptopresident@stjudebulldogs.org.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Warm regards,
Lori Tranter
PTO President
