During evening prayer at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle in St. Petersburg on Sunday, November 22, Bishop Lynch recognized the St. Jude Medal recipients from our parishes and missions. Through their generosity and loyal service to their parish and communities, these lay men and women have contributed greatly to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout our diocese.
